摘要
The transfer of the phosphoryl group from a histidine kinase to a response regulator forms the basis of bacterial signal transduction. The critical question of how a component of a signal transduction system specifically associates with its partner to produce the ideal environment for phosphotransfer is addressed in this review in the light of the structure of the SpoOF-SpoOB complex in Bacillus subtilis.
