Abstract excerpt
Membrane-embedded sensor histidine kinases (HKs) and chemoreceptors are used ubiquitously by bacteria and archaea to percept the environment, and are often crucial for their survival and pathogenicity. The proteins can transmit the signal from the sensor domain to the catalytic kinase domain reliably over the span of several hundreds of angstroms, and regulate the activity of the cognate response regulator...
