Tyrosine phosphorylation has been known in many bacteria since the
late 90s. See for example,
Ilan, O., Bloch, Y., Frankel, G., Ullrich, H., Geider, K. &
Rosenshine, I. (1999). Protein tyrosine kinases in bacterial
pathogens are associated with virulence and production of
exopolysaccharide. EMBO J 18, 3241–3248.
