The Two-Component System CopRS Maintains Subfemtomolar Levels of Free Copper in the Periplasm of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content> Using a Phosphatase-Based Mechanism

ABSTRACT Two-component systems control periplasmic Cu+ homeostasis in Gram-negative bacteria. In characterized systems such as Escherichia coli CusRS, upon Cu+ binding to the periplasmic sensing region of CusS, a cytoplasmic phosphotransfer domain of the sensor phosphorylates the response regulator...
