phosphoacceptor receiver (REC) domain of hybrid sensor histidine kinase/response regulators similar to Pseudomonas savastanoi blue-light-activated histidine kinase
Typically, two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) consist of a sensor (histidine kinase) that responds to specific input(s) by modifying the output of a cognate response regulator (RR). TCSs allow organisms to sense and respond to changes in environmental conditions. Hybrid sensor histidine kinase (HK)/response regulators contain all the elements of a classical TCS in a single polypeptide chain. Pseudomonas savastanoi blue-light-activated histidine kinase is a photosensitive HK and RR that is involved in increased bacterial virulence upon exposure to light. RRs share the common phosphoacceptor REC domain and different effector/output domains such as DNA, RNA, ligand-binding, protein-binding, or enzymatic domains. REC domains function as phosphorylation-mediated switches within response regulators, but some also transfer phosphoryl groups in multistep phosphorelays.
Feature 1: metal binding site [ion binding site], 3 residue positions
Conserved feature residue pattern:[ED] [ED] [ED]
Evidence:
Comment:based on metal binding site of other family members
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
