HAMP Domain Rotation and Tilting Movements Associated with Signal Transduction in the PhoQ Sensor Kinase
UNLABELLED HAMP domains are α-helical coiled coils that often transduce signals from extracytoplasmic sensing domains to cytoplasmic domains. Limited structural information has resulted in hypotheses that specific HAMP helix movement changes downstream enzymatic activity. These hypotheses were tested by mutagenesis and cysteine cross-linking analysis of the PhoQ histidine kinase, essential for ...
متن کاملAssembly of the Transmembrane Domain of E. coli PhoQ Histidine Kinase: Implications for Signal Transduction from Molecular Simulations
The PhoQP two-component system is a signaling complex essential for bacterial virulence and cationic antimicrobial peptide resistance. PhoQ is the histidine kinase chemoreceptor of this tandem machine and assembles in a homodimer conformation spanning the bacterial inner membrane. Currently, a full understanding of the PhoQ signal transduction is hindered by the lack of a complete atomistic str...
متن کاملMutational analysis of a conserved signal-transducing element: the HAMP linker of the Escherichia coli nitrate sensor NarX.
The HAMP linker, a predicted structural element observed in sensor proteins from all domains of life, is proposed to transmit signals between extracellular sensory input domains and cytoplasmic output domains. HAMP (histidine kinase, adenylyl cyclase, methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein, and phosphatase) linkers are located just inside the cytoplasmic membrane and are projected to form two shor...
متن کاملRequirement of the histidine kinase domain for signal transduction by the ethylene receptor ETR1.
In Arabidopsis, ethylene is perceived by a receptor family consisting of five members, one of these being ETR1. The N-terminal half of ETR1 functions as a signal input domain. The C-terminal region of ETR1, consisting of a His kinase domain and a putative receiver domain, is likely to function in signal output. The role of the proposed signal output region in ethylene signaling was examined in ...
متن کاملSignal Transduction: How Rad53 Kinase Is Activated
Recent studies have elucidated the activation mechanism of the Rad53 checkpoint kinase and the role of Rad9-like adaptor proteins in mediating signal transduction from PIKK sensor kinases that detect DNA damage to the effector kinases that play a part in mending that damage.
