EN This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the heme containing gas sensor proteins. These proteins are predominantly present in bacteria, in which play an important role in processes like, sporulation, antibiotic resistance and so on. Heme containing sensor proteins composed of two domains. First one is a globin domain, which contains the heme molecule. Interaction of heme with gas molecule acts as a signal for the activation/inactivation of the second functional domain. Part of this thesis is formed by a review, which summarized the current knowledge about heme containing sensor proteins. In the next part of this thesis we focused on three representatives from the group of oxygen sensor proteins - histidine kinase AfGcHK, diguanylate cyclase YddV and phosphodiesterase EcDOS. The main aim of this thesis was to solve the mechanism of interdomain/intraprotein signal transduction in two oxygen sensor proteins with globin fold of their sensor domain (AfGcHK, YddV). For this purpose, we used the kinetic analysis of their functional domain activity and the methods of structural biology. We also studied the mechanism of interprotein signal transduction in AfGcHK and its cognate partner RR protein. It was also tested, how the presence of sodium disulfide affects the functional properties of oxygen sensor proteins...
