| Abstract |
Bacteria use a variety of mechanisms for intercellular communication. Here we show that deletion of the uup gene, which encodes a soluble ATP binding cassette (ABC) ATPase, renders the mutant strain sensitive to its parent when they are grown together in the same medium. Our data suggest that the decrease in viability of the mutant is dependent on direct cell-to-cell contact with the parent strain. Furthermore, we show that the presence of intact Walker B motifs in Uup is required for immunity or resistance to the parental strain, suggesting that ATP hydrolysis is an important determinant of this phenotype. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 November 2015.
All research outputs
#5,446,629
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Research in Microbiology
#179
of 1,164 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#19,835
of 98,865 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Research in Microbiology
#2
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,164 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 98,865 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
