periplasmic binding domain of two-component sensor kinase signaling systems
Periplasmic binding domain of two-component sensor kinase signaling systems, some of which are fused with a C-terminal histidine kinase A domain (HisK) and/or a signal receiver domain (REC). Members of this group share homology with a family of pentose/hexose sugar-binding proteins of the type 1 periplasmic binding protein superfamily and are predicted to be involved in sensing of environmental stimuli; their substrate specificities, however, are not known in detail.
