What is it about?

Rre1 is an essential response regulator of a highly conserved two component system in cyanobacteria. We identified 15 Rre1 binding sites in the chromosome of S. elongatus by ChIP on tiling array analysis. Under heat stress, Rre1 was phosphorylated by Hik34, which activated major chaperone genes and the group 2 sigma factor gene rpoD2, which, in turn, may propagate a genome-wide transcriptional response.
