Pho regulon expression control. Proper control of Pho regulon expression involves the histidine kinase, PhoR that has a Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS), dimerization/histidine phosphorylation (DHp), and catalytic (CA) domains; the response regulator PhoB (with a conserved aspartate (D) residue that is phosphorylated); the phosphate specific ABC transporter composed of PstS (Periplasmic phosphate binding protein), PstC and PstA (proteins that form the pore in the inner membrane), and PstB (the ATP binding portion of the transporter); and PhoU (a negative regulator of PhoR).
