phosphoacceptor receiver (REC) domain of YrcF-like OmpR family response regulators
YycF appears to play an important role in cell wall integrity in a wide range of gram-positive bacteria, and may also modulate cell membrane integrity. It functions as part of a phosphotransfer system that ultimately controls the levels of competence within the bacteria. YycF belongs to the OmpR family of response regulators, which are characterized by a REC domain and a winged helix-turn-helix effector domain involved in DNA binding. 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
