B1500, a small membrane protein, connects the two-component systems EvgS/EvgA and PhoQ/PhoP in Escherichia coli. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104 (2007) 18712-18717. The authors show that a small protein B1500, regulated by the EvgS/EvgA system directly interacts with PhoQ in the membrane and activates the PhoQ/PhoP system even in the absence of its signal.
