Abstract
The CckA, ChpT, and CtrA phosphorelay proteins are widespread in the alphaproteobacteria, and there are two groups of organisms that differ in terms of whether this pathway is essential for cell viability. Little is known about the biochemical function of these proteins in organisms where the pathway is not essential, a group that includes Rhodobacter capsulatus .
