                                Over 90% of all prokaryotic species utilize two-component systems for signal transduction, demonstrating their critical importance in the microbial world. These intricate systems rely on a specialized pair of two component system proteins to sense environmental changes and orchestrate cellular responses. This protein-based signaling cascade is a fundamental mechanism that enables bacteria to survive and thrive in diverse and fluctuating conditions.
