Function
[YPD1_YEAST] Phosphorelay intermediate protein that is part of the branched SLN1-YPD1-SKN7/SSK1 two-component regulatory system, which controls activity of the HOG1 pathway and gene expression in response to changes in the osmolarity of the extracellular environment. Catalyzes the phosphoryl group transfer from the membrane-bound osmosensing histidine kinase SLN1 to two distinct response regulator proteins, SSK1 in the cytoplasm, and transcription factor SKN7 in the nucleus.[1] [2] [SLN1_YEAST] Histidine kinase that acts as a osmosensor at the plasma membrane. Part of the bifurcated SLN1-YPD1-SKN7/SSK1 two-component regulatory system, which controls activity of the HOG1 pathway and gene expression in response to changes in the osmolarity of the extracellular environment. Under normal osmotic conditions, the histidine kinase autophosphorylates His-576. This phosphate is subsequently transferred to Asp-1144, from where it is relayed to 'His-64' of the phosphorelay intermediate protein YPD1. Under high osmolarity conditions, the histidine kinase is no longer active.[3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a branched multistep phosphorelay signaling pathway regulates cellular adaptation to hyperosmotic stress. YPD1 functions as a histidine-phosphorylated protein intermediate required for phosphoryl group transfer from a membrane-bound sensor histidine kinase (SLN1) to two distinct response regulator proteins (SSK1 and SKN7). These four proteins are evolutionarily related to the well-characterized "two-component" regulatory proteins from bacteria. Although structural information is available for many two-component signaling proteins, there are very few examples of complexes between interacting phosphorelay partners. Here we report the first crystal structure of a prototypical monomeric histidine-containing phosphotransfer (HPt) protein YPD1 in complex with its upstream phosphodonor, the response regulator domain associated with SLN1.
