CHEY-BINDING DOMAIN OF CHEA IN COMPLEX WITH CHEY
Overview
Bacterial adaptation to the environment is accomplished through the, coordinated activation of specific sensory receptors and signal processing, proteins. Among the best characterized of these pathways are those which, employ the two-component paradigm. In these systems, signal transmission, is mediated by Mg(2+)-dependent phospho-relay reactions between histidine, auto-kinases and phospho-accepting receiver domains in response-regulator, proteins. Although this mechanism of activation is common to all, response-regulators, detrimental cross-talk between different, two-component pathways within the same cell is minimized through the use, of specific recognition domains. Here, we report the crystal structure, at, 2.95 A resolution, of the response regulator of bacterial chemotaxis, CheY, bound to the recognition domain from its cognate histidine kinase, CheA. The structure suggests that molecular recognition, in this low, affinity complex (KD = 2 microM), may also contribute to the mechanism of, CheY activation.
