phosphoacceptor receiver (REC) domain of CusR-like OmpR family response regulators
Escherichia coli CusR is part of the CusS/CusR two-component system (TCS) that is involved in response to copper and silver. Other members of this subfamily include Escherichia coli PcoR, Pseudomonas syringae CopR, and Streptomyces coelicolor CutR, which are all transcriptional regulatory proteins and components of TCSs that regulate genes involved in copper resistance and/or metabolism. member of the subfamily is Escherichia coli HprR (hydrogen peroxide response regulator), previously called YdeW, which is part of the HprSR (or YedVW) TCS involved in stress response to hydrogen peroxide, as well as Cupriavidus metallidurans CzcR, which is part of the CzcS/CzcR TCS involved in the control of cobalt, zinc, and cadmium homeostasis. Members of this subfamily belong to the OmpR family of DNA-binding response regulators, which contain N-terminal receiver (REC) and C-terminal DNA-binding winged helix-turn-helix effector domains. REC domains function as phosphorylation-mediated switches within response regulators, but some also transfer phosphoryl groups in multistep phosphorelays.
Comment:signal transduction in two-component systems is mediated by metal ion dependent phosphorelay reactions between protein histidine kinases and phosphoaccepting receiver domains in response regulator proteins
Comment:for many receivers, Mg2+ is the preferred metal ion, but other divalent ions such as Mn2+ are also used
