Using a yeast two-hybrid assay system, it was demonstrated that the four-helix bundle of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides PrrB histidine kinase both serves as the interaction site for the regulatory domain of its cognate response regulator PrrA and is the primary determinant of the interaction specificity. The alpha-helix 1 and its flanking turn region within the dimerization domain (DD) of the PrrB histidine kinase appear to play an important role in conferring the recognition specificity for the PrrA response regulator on the DD. The catalytic ATP-binding domain of the histidine kinase, which functions as the catalytic unit for the phosphotransfer reaction from ATP to the conserved histidine residue in the DD, also appears to contribute to the enhancement of the recognition specificity conferred by the DD. It was also revealed that replacement of Asp-63 and Lys-113 of the PrrA response regulator by alanine abolished protein-protein interactions between PrrA and its cognate histidine kinase PrrB, whereas mutations of Asp-19, Asp-20 and Thr-87 to alanine did not affect protein-protein interactions, indicating that among the active site residues of PrrA, Asp-63 and Lys-113 are important not only in the function of PrrA but also for protein-protein interactions between PrrA and PrrB.
