ChvG is the sensor kinase of a two-component regulatory system found in Agrobacterium tumefaciens (2).
Acidic
conditions play an important role in Agrobacterium-plant interactions
(1).Numerous
studies
have investigated the possible connection between the physiological
response to
acidic conditions and the activity of ChvG and ChvI.
Studies have shown that ChvG/ChvI two-component systems
specifically get
induced in an acidic environment(1).
As
a result, there is growing consensus that the ChvG/ChvI two-component
regulatory system may be the primary global pH sensor in A.tumefaciens and as such, serves in coordinating the expression of
acid-induced genes (2).
