Abstract
The Rcs two-component pathway is involved in the regulation of capsule production in Escherichia coli. RcsC is predicted to be the sensor component of this two-component pathway, and in this study we present the first genetic data that support the role of RcsC as a hybrid sensor kinase.Keywords
