phosphoacceptor receiver (REC) domain of chemotaxis response regulator CheY3 and similar CheY family proteins
CheY family chemotaxis response regulators (RRs) comprise about 17% of bacterial RRs and almost half of all RRs in archaea. This subfamily contains Vibrio cholerae CheY3, Escherichia coli CheY, and similar CheY family RRs. CheY proteins control bacterial motility and participate in signaling phosphorelays and in protein-protein interactions. CheY RRs contain only the REC domain with no output/effector domain. REC domains function as phosphorylation-mediated switches within response regulators, but some also transfer phosphoryl groups in multistep phosphorelays.
Comment:also based on metal binding site of other family members
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
