phosphoacceptor receiver (REC) domain of DivK and similar proteins
Caulobacter crescentus DivK is an essential response regulator that is involved in the complex phosphorelay pathways controlling both cell division and motility. It localizes cell cycle regulators to specific poles of the cell during division. DivK contains a stand-alone REC domain. 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
