What is MiST?
The Microbial Signal Transduction database contains the signal transduction proteins for 707 complete bacterial and archaeal organisms. These are identified using various domain profiles that directly or indirectly implicate a particular protein in participating in signal transduction.
How do I cite MiST?
If you use information from the MiST database in your research, please cite:
- MiST: a microbial signal transduction database.
Luke E. Ulrich and Igor B. Zhulin
Nucleic Acids Research, 2007, 35:D386-D390.
Definitions of microbial signal transduction implemented in MiST are described in:
- One-component systems dominate signal transduction in prokaryotes.

How do I use MiST?
Typically this involves navigating to an organism of interest and then exploring its signal transduction proteins:
- Taxonomy based organism selector - browse through a taxonomic tree to locate one or more organisms of interest
- List of bacteria in MiST - view the list of organisms currently loaded into MiST
- Query MiST directly:
