Problem 5: Bacterial Cell Signaling

E.coli respond to increased solute concentrations by phosphorylation of the membrane receptor _______________, which transfers a phosphate to the subcellular second messenger ______________ that initiates transcription of the ___________ gene producing a protein that can prevent solute entry and preserve the osmotic integrity of the cell.

A.
