✦ Synopsis

Conserved signal transduction pathways that use phosphorelay from histidine kinases through an intermediate transfer protein (H2) to response regulators have been found in a variety of eukaryotic microorganisms. Several of these pathways are linked to mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. These networks control different physiological responses including osmoregulation, cAMP levels and cellular morphogenesis.
