Abstract:
Two component system is a signal transduction system. It typically consists of a sensor histitine kinase and a cognate response regulator (RR) component. The activity of RR is regulated by a phosphorylation dependent mechanism. In recent years, the existence of atypical response regulators (ARRs), which rely on a phosphorylation independent mechanism to regulate their activity, have been recognized. ARRs are involved in the regulation of bacterial growth and development, antibiotic biosynthesis, iron transport, among others. Here we review the recent advances in the understanding of the structure and function of atypical response regulators, by using JadR1, a regulator in jadomycin biosynthesis in Streptomyces, as an example to elucidate the novel mechanism used by ARR to fine-tune its activity.
