Histidine kinases in signal transduction pathways of eukaryotes

WF Loomis, G Shaulsky and N Wang
Department of Biology, University of California San Diego, La Jolla 92093, USA.

Autophosphorylating histidine kinases are an ancient conserved family of enzymes that are found in eubacteria, archaebacteria and eukaryotes. They are activated by a wide range of extracellular signals and transfer phosphate moieties to aspartates found in response regulators. Recent studies have shown that such two-component signal transduction pathways mediate osmoregulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Dictyostelium discoideum and Neurospora crassa. Moreover, they play pivotal roles in responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to ethylene and cytokinin. A transmembrane histidine kinase encoded by dhkA accumulates when Dictyostelium cells aggregate during development. Activation of DhkA results in the inhibition of its response regulator, RegA, which is a cAMP phosphodiesterase that regulates the cAMP dependent protein kinase PKA. When PKA is activated late in the differentiation of prespore cells, they encapsulate into spores. There is evidence that this two-component system participates in a feedback loop linked to PKA in prestalk cells such that the signal to initiate encapsulation is rapidly amplified. Such signal transduction pathways can be expected to be found in a variety of eukaryotic differentiations since they are rapidly reversible and can integrate disparate signals.
