title: Signal transduction in the cell cycle regulation of Caulobacter differentiation.
abstract: Caulobacter crescentus differentiates to form a new cell type during asymmetric cell division. Recent results indicate that signal transduction pathways mediated by protein kinases and essential response regulators play a central role in the regulation of development and cell division in response to cell cycle checkpoints.
