sensor histidine kinase, part of a two-component regulatory system, functions as a protein kinase that phosphorylates a target protein in response to various signals, such as Bacillus subtilis thermosensor DesK which regulates the order of membrane lipids by controlling the expression of the gene encoding delta 5-acyl-lipid desaturase, oxygen sensor histidine kinase NreB which is involved in the control of dissimilatory nitrate/nitrite reduction in response to oxygen, sensor histidine kinase LiaS which is involved in sensing cell wall stress, and Staphylococcus aureus VraS which positively modulates cell wall biosynthesis
