Canonical two-component systems catalyse autophosphorylation of the histidine kinase, transfer of the phosphoryl group to the regulator and dephosphorylation of the phosphoregulator. In this Progress article, Jacob-Dubuisson and colleagues highlight recent structural insights into the signalling and catalytic mechanisms of sensor histidine kinases.
