Mutation-induced remodeling of the BfmRS two-component system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates
Genetic mutations are a primary driving force behind the adaptive evolution of bacterial pathogens. Multiple clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an important human pathogen, have naturally evolved one or more missense mutations in bfmS, which encodes the sensor histidine kinase of the BfmRS two-component system (TCS). A mutant BfmS protein containing both the L181P and E376Q substitutions increased the phosphorylation and thus the transcriptional regulatory activity of its cognate downs -

G{beta}{gamma} is a direct regulator of endogenous p101/p110{gamma} and p84/p110{gamma} PI3K{gamma} complexes in mouse neutrophils
The PI3K isoform is activated by Gi-coupled GPCRs in myeloid cells, but the extent to which the two endogenous complexes of PI3K, p101/p110 and p84/p110, receive direct regulation through Gβ or indirect regulation through RAS and the sufficiency of those inputs is controversial or unclear. We generated mice with point mutations that prevent Gβ binding to p110 (RK552DD) or to p101 (VVKR777AAAA) and investigated the effects of these mutations in primary neutrophils and in mouse models of -
