Abstract:
Two-component signal transduction system (TCS) exists extensively in prokaryotic cell ,which plays a key role of regulation in the growth ,differentiation ,metabolism ,virulence ,persistence ,and pathogenicity .PhoPR two-component signal transduction system ,as one of two-component systems ,is the most basic and the most importantly sensitive to the envi-ronmental changes and makes corresponding certain reaction system adapt to changes in the host microenvironment .Therefore , PhoPR TCS which is an important regulatory system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to adapt to environmental change has been increasing concern ,even PhoPR TCS is becoming the new front-burner issue in the pathogenesis of M TB regulation of research .
