In Escherichia coli, PhoR is the histidine kinase of the phosphate regulon. It has been postulated that PhoR may function as a phospho-PhoB phosphatase. Experiments with four precise phoR deletion mutants supported this hypothesis and suggested that this activity resides within the histidine phosphorylation domain. This biochemical activity was confirmed by using a separately expressed histidine phosphorylation domain.
