Abstract
|
|
|
We determined the structure of the complex of the sensory histidine kinase (HK)
and its cognate response regulator (RR) in the two-component signal transduction
system of Thermotoga maritima. This was accomplished by fitting the
high-resolution structures of the isolated HK domains and the RR onto the
electron density map (3.8 A resolution) of the HK/RR complex crystal. Based on
the structural information, we evaluated the roles of both interdomain and
intermolecular interactions in the signal transduction of the cytosolic
PAS-linked HK and RR system, in particular the O(2)-sensor FixL/FixJ system. The
PAS-sensor domain of HK interacts with the catalytic domain of the same
polypeptide chain by creating an interdomain beta sheet. The interaction site
between HK and RR, which was confirmed by NMR, is suitable for the
intermolecular transfer reaction of the phosphoryl group, indicating that the
observed interaction is important for the phosphatase activity of HK that
dephosphorylates phospho-RR.

(A) Electron density (final 2F[o] − F[c] map) of
the 2:2 complex at 3.8 Å resolution. Red spheres are the
anomalous differences Fourier maps (3.5 σ) of either Hg or Se
atoms obtained from the crystal of Hg-SeMet-ThkA
(F486M,F489M,H546M)/SeMet-TrrA(D52M,L89M) (see Table S5).
(B) The map (A) is viewed along a two-fold axis and the map is
represented as a grid.
(C) The overall ThkA/TrrA complex in
the 2:2 dimer. The view is the same as in (A).
(D) The
structure viewed along a two-fold axis.
(E–H) Qualities

σ) for the PAS domain of ThkA (E), DHp of ThkA (F), CA of ThkA
(G), and TrrA (H).
