The phosphorylation reactions involving CheA3. The domain structures of CheA3 and CheA4 are shown. The P1 domain of CheA3 is phosphorylated by a CheA4 dimer. CheA3-P then acts as a phosphodonor for either CheY1, CheY6, or CheB2. These RRs all autodephosphorylate. However, CheA3 acts as a phosphatase on CheY6-P (red arrow) and can accelerate the rate of dephosphorylation by at least a factor of 3 over the rate of autodephosphorylation.
