1.
Baker M, Neiditch M
PLoS Biol . 2012 Jan; 9(12):e1001226. PMID: 22215984
The complex interplay between the response regulator ComA, the anti-activator RapF, and the signaling peptide PhrF controls competence development in Bacillus subtilis. More specifically, ComA drives the expression of genetic...

Mirouze N, Parashar V, Baker M, Dubnau D, Neiditch M
J Bacteriol . 2011 Sep; 193(22):6197-206. PMID: 21908671
Under conditions of nutrient limitation and high population density, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis can initiate a variety of developmental pathways. The signaling systems regulating B. subtilis differentiation are tightly controlled...

Baker M, Stock J
Curr Biol . 2007 Dec; 17(23):R1021-4. PMID: 18054766
Signal transduction systems that mediate adaptive changes in gene expression to specific sensory inputs have been well characterized. Recent studies have focused on mechanisms that allow crosstalk between different information-processing...

Wolanin P, Baker M, Francis N, Thomas D, DeRosier D, Stock J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2006 Sep; 103(39):14313-8. PMID: 16973743
Escherichia coli chemotaxis is mediated by membrane receptor/histidine kinase signaling complexes. Fusing the cytoplasmic domain of the aspartate receptor, Tar, to a leucine zipper dimerization domain produces a hybrid, lzTar(C),...

Baker M, Wolanin P, Stock J
Curr Opin Microbiol . 2006 Mar; 9(2):187-92. PMID: 16529985
Motile bacteria regulate chemotaxis through a highly conserved chemosensory signal-transduction system. System-wide analyses and mathematical modeling are facilitated by extensive experimental observations regarding bacterial chemotaxis proteins, including biochemical parameters, protein...

Baker M, Wolanin P, Stock J
Bioessays . 2005 Dec; 28(1):9-22. PMID: 16369945
Motile bacteria respond to environmental cues to move to more favorable locations. The components of the chemotaxis signal transduction systems that mediate these responses are highly conserved among prokaryotes including...
