The Campylobacter jejuni BumS sensor phosphatase detects the branched short-chain fatty acids isobutyrate and isovalerate as direct cues for signal transduction by Nestor Ruiz, Jiawei Xing, Igor B. Zhulin, Chad A. Brautigam, David R. Hendrixson

“…Our work reveals how this unusual bacterial sensor phosphatase senses a repertoire of intestinal metabolites and how cues alter BumSR signal transduction to influence C. jejuni colonization of hosts.IMPORTANCETCSs are prevalent in many bacteria, but the cues sensed by each are not actually known for many of these systems. Microbiota-generated butyrate in human and avian hosts is detected by the Campylobacter jejuni BumS sensor phosphatase so that the bacterium identifies ideal lower intestinal niches for colonization. …”
