From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James A. Hoch is a microbiologist at the Scripps Research Institute. In the last 40 years his work has focused on dissecting the signal tansduction mechanism that controls sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. He introduced the widely used phrase 'phosphorelay' to describe the transfer of phosphoryl groups between the two proteins involved in bacterial signal transduction that comprise the so called two-component system.
