Phospo - transfer
Reactions
T
The -phosphoryl group is transferred to the conserved histidine side chain of the
HK. The RR catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoryl group from the phospho-His
residue to the conserved aspartic acid side chain of the RR. Finally the phosphoryl
group is transferred from the phospho-Asp residue to water in a hydrolysis reaction

Added complexity provides for multiple regulatory
checkpoints and points of integration between
signaling pathways
Regulatory Mechanisms
The whole point of signal transduction is regulation. The signaling pathway
provides steps at which the flow of information can be modulated.

Regulation of the Histidine Kinase:
Autokinase activity either stimulated or repressed by specific
stimulas.
RR phosphatase activity of the histidine kinase can be modulated.

Regulation of the Response Regulator:
Phosphorylation by cognate HK
Dephosphorylation by specific phosphatases
Stimulation of intrinsic autophosphatase activity.

Inhibition of phosphotransfer

Regulation of the expression of the two-component proteins.
Integration of Signals i





Five related HKs are capable of
phosphorylating the RR SpoOF (KinA,
KinB, KinC, KinD and KinE).
KinA, KinB, KinC, KinD and KinE share
sequence similarities surrounding the
phosphorylatable histidine residue but
differ in their sensing domains.
RapE is expressed during vegetative
growth.
RapA and RapB are induced by the
ComA/ComP TCS
Therefore sporulation is prevented during
vegetative growth and competence
development
Integration of Signals II




ResD/ResE regulates expression of genes required for anaerobic respiration.
PhoP/PhoR regulates expression of genes required for phosphate uptake.
When phosphate is low, phosphorylated PhoP induces expression of res operon
while repressing the PhoP-independent promoter.
Phosphorylated ResD activates phoP-phoR expression (positive feedback loop)
Integration of Signals III




The product of the udg gene is required for both the Pmr-regulated modification of LPS
and the Rcs-dependent production of capsule.
Both PmrA and RcsB can bind and activate transcription from the ugd promoter.
PmrD activates PmrA post-transcriptionally independently of PmrB in response to
Mg++.
The ugd gene is expressed in response to Mg++, Fe+++ OR cell envelope stress.
1) High osmotic pressure changes the conformation of the outer segment of EnvZ sensor protein.
2) The change is transmitted inwards and EnvZ phosphorylates itself using ATP. It then transfers the phosphate
group to OmpR. The OmpR-P form binds DNA.

When OP is low, there is only a trace of OmpR-P, but this is sufficient to bind to the high affinity site in
front of the ompF gene and activate transcription.

At high OP, the concentration of OmpR-P rises and it can now occupy the low affinity sites. This stops
transcription of the ompF gene and activates transcription of the ompC gene.

In addition the micF gene is transcribed to give MicF RNA. This binds to the front of the ompF message
and prevents translation. Thus whenever expression of ompC is increased, expression of ompF is
decreased. (Actually micF is more probably important for temperature control than for osmoregulation.)






CheA is HK that phosphorylates RRs CheY
and CheB.
Phosphorylation of CheA stimulated by
unoccupied receptors (requires CheW).
Phosphorylated CheY binds the flagellar
motor and stimulates CW rotation of the
motor which results in enhanced tumbling.
CheZ is a phosphatase that
dephosphorylates CheY
Upon phosphorylation by CheA, CheB
removes methyl groups from MCP
resulting sensory adaptation.
Ligand bound MCP undergoes
conformational change that inhibits
autophosphorylation of CheA…….
Cyclic-di-gmp-mediated regulation in
bacteria
The discovery of c-diGMP dates back to work published by Moshe Benziman on
the regulation of cellulose biosynthesis in Gluconacetobacter xylinum (formerly
called Acetobacter xylinum) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
In two landmark papers, published in 1987 and 1998, Benziman and colleagues
first described the identification of c-diGMP as an allosteric regulator of cellulose
synthase (CS)
CS activity is almost completely dependent on the presence of c-diGMP

PAS domains act as sensory modules for oxygen
tension, redox potential or light intensities. The
domain functions through protein-protein
interactions or through binding cofactors within
their hydrophobic cores to regulate protein-protein
