aThe names and data for non-obligate parasites are in bold. Complete genome sequences and corresponding references are available in the NCBI Entrez Genome division at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PMGifs/Genomes/micr.html.

bEach number represents the number of proteins in a given genome that contain the corresponding domain; multiple occurrences of the same domain (e.g., PAS, CheY) on a single polypeptide chain are counted as one. The numbers are from the COG database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/COG [4]) and/or from the results of iterative PSI-BLAST searches of domain-specific profiles against a database of proteins, encoded in completely sequenced microbial genomes [38,53,54]. These numbers were also compared against those in SMART [24] and those reported in [41]. Complete lists of proteins that contain each particular domain are available at ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/galperin/TwoCompCensus.html.

cCheY-like domains of the ‘hybrid’ sensor kinases (found on the same polypeptide chain with the His kinase domain, see [39]).

dCheY-like domains found in the response regulators (associated with HTH, ATPase, CheB, GGDEF, or HD-GYP domains), as well as stand-alone CheY-like domains.

eThese numbers do not include signaling proteins of the LytS family (COG3275, COG2972), predicted to be divergent His kinases [40]. The discrepancies with the numbers reported in [39] are due to the addition of Synechocystis sp. His kinase slr1212 and response regulators slr0687, sll1544, sll1879, and slr2041 and the exclusion of stand-alone Hpt domain slr0073 from the list of histidine kinases.

fThese domains are likely to be inactivated.
