The two components ArcB and ArcA play a crucial role in the signal transduction implicated in the complex transcriptional regulatory network that allows Escherichia coli to sense various respiratory growth conditions. ArcB is a hybrid sensor kinase having multiple phosphorylation sites in its primary amino acid sequence, including a transmitter, a receiver, and a histidine-containing phosphotransfer (HPt) domain. ArcA is a DNA-binding transcriptional regulator with a receiver domain. Results of recent in vitro studies revealed multistep His-to-Asp phosphotransfer circuitry in the ArcB-ArcA signaling system. For this report we conducted a series of in vivo experiments using a set of crucial ArcB mutants to evaluate the regulation of the sdh operon. The results suggested that the phosphorylated His-717 site in the HPt domain of ArcB is essential for anaerobic repression of sdh. Nonetheless, the ArcB mutant lacking this crucial His-717 site does not necessarily exhibit a null phenotype with respect to ArcB-ArcA signaling. The HPt mutant appears to maintain an ability to signal ArcA, particularly under aerobic conditions, which results in a significant repression of sdh. Based on these and other in vivo results, we propose a model in which ArcB functions in its own right as a dual-signaling sensor that is capable of propagating two types of stimuli through two distinct phosphotransfer pathways.
