Bacterial sensing mechanism revealed Escherichia coli use a transmembrane sensor protein to sense nitrate in their external environment and initiate a biochemical response. Gushchin et al. compared crystal structures of portions of the NarQ receptor that included the transmembrane helices in ligand-bound or unbound states. The structures suggest a signaling mechanism by which piston- and lever-like movements are transmitted to response regulator proteins within the cell. Such two-component systems are very common in bacteria and, if better understood, might provide targets for antimicrobial therapies. Science , this issue p. eaah6345
