The 6G wireless systems are expected to have higher capacity, reliability, and energy efficiency than the existing cellular systems. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies offer high capacity at the cost of high attenuation and blockage losses. Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted mmWave networks consist of smaller antenna elements that control the propagation channel between the base station (BS) and the user by appropriately tuning the phase and the reflection of the incident electromagnetic signal.

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has three histidine kinases (Phk1/Mak2, Phk2/Mak3, and Phk3/Mak1), together with two response regulators (Mcs4 and Prr1). The results of recent extensive studies suggested that these His-to-Asp phosphorelay components are involved in oxidative stress responses through the transcriptional regulation of several scavenger genes for toxic free radicals.

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has three histidine kinases (Phk1/Mak2, Phk2/Mak3, and Phk3/Mak1), and two response regulators (Mcs4 and Prr1). The results of recent extensive studies on the S. pombe His-to-Asp phosphorelay circuitry suggested that it is involved in oxidative stress responses through the transcriptional regulation of several scavenger genes for toxic free radicals.

The receiver domain is most probably involved in an as yet unidentified histidine-to-aspartate (His-to-Asp) phosphorelay pathway in S. pombe.
