The Campylobacter jejuni BumS sensor phosphatase detects the branched short-chain fatty acids isobutyrate and isovalerate as direct cues for signal transduction by Nestor Ruiz, Jiawei Xing, Igor B. Zhulin, Chad A. Brautigam, David R. Hendrixson

“…We also identified residues in the BumS sensory domain required to detect isobutyrate, isovalerate, and butyrate and for optimal colonization of hosts to reveal how gut bacteria can recognize these intestinal metabolites. Our work reveals how this unusual bacterial sensor phosphatase senses a repertoire of intestinal metabolites and how cues alter BumSR signal transduction to influence C. jejuni colonization of hosts.IMPORTANCETCSs are prevalent in many bacteria, but the cues sensed by each are not actually known for many of these systems. …”
