Figures

FIG. 1

FIG. 1

Typical two-component signal transduction system.

FIG. 2

FIG. 2

Simple example of some principles of networking in two-component signal transduction.

FIG. 3

FIG. 3

Chemical structures of the antialginate two-component kinase inhibitors. More than 95% of algD promoter inhibition activity was observed for inhibitors 1 and 2 at 2 to 2.5 μg/ml. Compounds 1 and 3 also inhibit AlgR1, whereas compounds 2 and 4 do not, but compounds 2 and 4 do inhibit other kinases (66, 67).

FIG. 4

FIG. 4

Prototypical structures of diphenolic methanes with NRII inhibitory activity and weak activity against gram-positive bacteria (19).

FIG. 5

FIG. 5

Prototypical structures from the efforts of the R. W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute. These five series represent the reported inhibitors in a variety of in vitro, microbiological, and in vivo test systems (27, 47, 48, 52, 62, 79, 87, 88, 91).
