Mutational analysis of the linker region of EnvZ, an osmosensor in Escherichia coli.
EnvZ, a transmembrane signal transducer, is composed of a periplasmic sensor domain, transmembrane domains, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain. Between the second transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic signaling domain there is a linker domain consisting of approximately 50 residues. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the EnvZ linker domain with respect to signal transducti...
متن کاملA monomeric histidine kinase derived from EnvZ, an Escherichia coli osmosensor.
Histidine kinases function as dimers. The kinase domain of the osmosensing histidine kinase EnvZ of Escherichia coli consists of two domains: domain A (67 residues) responsible for histidine phosphotransfer and dimerization, and domain B (161 residues) responsible for the catalytic and ATP-binding function. The individual structures of these two domains have been recently solved by NMR spectros...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of OmpR by the osmosensor EnvZ modulates expression of the ompF and ompC genes in Escherichia coli.
EnvZ and OmpR, the regulatory proteins for ompF and ompC expression in Escherichia coli, belong to a modulator-effector family of regulatory proteins which are essential for the response to environmental signals. We show that the soluble cytoplasmic domain of the transmembrane modulator protein EnvZ is phosphorylated in vitro by [gamma-32P]-ATP. We also demonstrate that the phosphate group can,...
متن کاملEnvZ-OmpR interaction and osmoregulation in Escherichia coli.
EnvZ, a histidine kinase/phosphatase in Escherichia coli, responds to the osmolarity changes in the medium by regulating the phosphorylation state of the transcription factor OmpR, which controls the expression levels of outer membrane porin proteins OmpF and OmpC. Although both ompR and envZ genes are located on the ompB locus under the control of the ompB promoter and transcribed as a single ...
متن کاملStructural characterization of Escherichia coli sensor histidine kinase EnvZ: the periplasmic C-terminal core domain is critical for homodimerization.
Escherichia coli EnvZ is a membrane sensor histidine kinase that plays a pivotal role in cell adaptation to changes in extracellular osmolarity. Although the cytoplasmic histidine kinase domain of EnvZ has been extensively studied, both biochemically and structurally, little is known about the structure of its periplasmic domain, which has been implicated in the mechanism underlying its osmosen...
