Pathogenic bacteria rely on protein phosphorylation to adapt quickly stress, including that imposed by the host during infection. Penicillin-binding and serine/threonine-associated (PASTA) kinases are signal transduction systems sense cell wall integrity modulate multiple facets of bacterial physiology in response envelope stress. The PASTA kinase cytosolic pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, PrkA, is required for stress responses, survival, virulence, yet its substrates downstream signaling...

ABSTRACT The ability to respond quickly changing environmental conditions in the host is critical for bacterial pathogens. Penicillin-binding protein and serine/threonine-associated (PASTA) kinases are a conserved family of important cell envelope stress responses Firmicutes Actinobacteria , including cytosolic pathogen Listeria monocytogenes . As serine/threonine kinases, PASTA phosphorylate multiple substrates, yet mechanisms through which these substrates promote resistance wall remain...
