Abstract excerpt
Two-component regulatory systems, typically composed of a sensor kinase to detect a stimulus and a response regulator to execute a response, are widely used by microorganisms for signal transduction. Response regulators exhibit a high degree of structural similarity and undergo analogous activating conformational changes upon phosphorylation. The activity of particular response regulators can be increased by...
