Phosphorelay

The kinases

• KinA
• KinB
• KinC
• KinD
• KinE

The phosphotranferases

• Spo0F

The ultimate target

• Spo0A

Phosphatases controlling the phosphorelay (and peptides that modulate their activity)

• Spo0E: dephosphorylation of Spo0A
• YisI: dephosphorylation of Spo0A
• YnzD: dephosphorylation of Spo0A
• RapA, PhrA: dephosphorylation of Spo0F
• RapB: dephosphorylation of Spo0F
• RapE, PhrE: dephosphorylation of Spo0F
