molecular function |
| GO:0000155 | | phosphorelay sensor kinase activity | | Catalysis of the phosphorylation of a histidine residue in response to detection of an extracellular signal such as a chemical ligand or change in environment, to initiate a change in cell state or activity. The two-component sensor is a histidine kinase that autophosphorylates a histidine residue in its active site. The phosphate is then transferred to an aspartate residue in a downstream response regulator, to trigger a response. |
| GO:0009881 | | photoreceptor activity | | The function of absorbing and responding to incidental electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. The response may involve a change in conformation. |
biological process |
| GO:0000160 | | phosphorelay signal transduction system | | A conserved series of molecular signals found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; involves autophosphorylation of a histidine kinase and the transfer of the phosphate group to an aspartate that then acts as a phospho-donor to response regulator proteins. |
| GO:0018298 | | protein-chromophore linkage | | The covalent or noncovalent attachment of a chromophore to a protein. |
| GO:0006355 | | regulation of transcription, DNA-templated | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription. |
| GO:0050896 | | response to stimulus | | Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism. |
| GO:0023014 | | signal transduction by protein phosphorylation | | A process in which the transfer of one or more phosphate groups to a substrate transmits a signal to the phosphorylated substrate. |
| GO:0006351 | | transcription, DNA-templated | | The cellular synthesis of RNA on a template of DNA. |
cellular component |
| GO:0005622 | | intracellular | | The living contents of a cell; the matter contained within (but not including) the plasma membrane, usually taken to exclude large vacuoles and masses of secretory or ingested material. In eukaryotes it includes the nucleus and cytoplasm. |
