Environmental stimulus Sensor. protein Response- regulator The sensor protein spans the cytoplasmic membrane. The response regulator is a protein inside the cell. P In response to a specific change in the environment, the sensor phosphorylates a region on its internal portion. The phosphate group is transferred to the response regulator, which can then turn genes on or off, depending on the system. FIGURE 7.19 Two-Component Regulatory System
