Metal-induced sensor mobilization turns on affinity to activate regulator for metal detoxification in live bacteria

TCS are important for various bacterial process, including metal transport. How the signals are transducted by the TCS are not fully clear especially in live cell. Here we explored this using live-cell single-molecule tracking.
