first (D1) phosphoacceptor receiver (REC) domain of response regulator PleD and similar domains
PleD contains a REC domain (D1) with the phosphorylatable aspartate, a REC-like adaptor domain (D2), and the enzymatic diguanylate cyclase (DGC) domain, also called the GGDEF domain according to a conserved sequence motif, as its output domain. The GGDEF-containing PleD response regulators are global regulators of cell metabolism in some important human pathogens. This model describes D1 of PleD and similar domains. REC domains function as phosphorylation-mediated switches within response regulators, but some also transfer phosphoryl groups in multistep phosphorelays.
Comment:signal transduction in two-component systems is mediated by metal ion dependent phosphorelay reactions between protein histidine kinases and phosphoaccepting receiver domains in response regulator proteins
Comment:for many receivers, Mg2+ is the preferred metal ion, but other divalent ions such as Mn2+ are also used
