Article Synopsis
- Campylobacter jejuni, a pathogen found in warm-blooded animals, relies on alternative electron acceptors like nitrate and fumarate due to low oxygen in the gastrointestinal tract.
- The RacRS two-component system regulates the production, transport, and reduction of fumarate based on available electron acceptors, affecting C. jejuni's respiration process.
- The study reveals that phosphorylated RacR represses genes related to fumarate utilization, showcasing a unique regulatory mechanism that supports the survival of this pathogen.
