| Abstract: | Histidine-aspartic acid phosphotransfer pathways are central components of prokaryotic signal transduction pathways and are also found in many eukaryotes. Tools to study histidine kinases, however, are currently quite limited. In this article, we present a new tool to study histidine-aspartic acid phosphotransfer pathways. We show that many histidine kinases will accept ATPγS as a substrate to form a stable thiophosphohistidine even when they do not form stable phosphohistidines using the natural substrate ATP. An antibody that has previously been used to detect thiophosphorylated serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues is shown to recognize thiophosphohistidine and thiophosphoaspartic acid residues. Histidine kinase autothiophosphorylation is regulated by other protein sensor domains in the same way as autophosphorylation, and thiophosphate is transferred to downstream aspartic acid containing response regulators. |
