Revisiting the pH-gated conformational switch on the activities of HisKA-family histidine kinases

Bacterial two-component systems are composed of a sensor histidine kinase (HK) and an effector response regulator and upon signal detection, the HK autophosphorylates a conserved His residue. Here the authors structurally and functionally characterise two HKs, HK853–RR468 and EnvZ–OmpR, and find tha...
