We present a generic analytical scheme for the quantification of fluctuations due to bi-functionality induced signal transduction within the members of bacterial two-component system. The proposed model takes into account post-translational modifications in terms of elementary phosphotransfer kinetics. Sources of fluctuations due to autophosphorylation, kinase and phosphatase activity of the sensor kinase have been considered in the model via Langevin equations, which are then solved exactly within the framework of linear noise approximation. The resultant analytical expression of phosphorylated response regulators are then used to quantify the noise profile of biologically motivated single and branched pathways. Enhancement and reduction of noise in terms of extra phosphate outflux and influx, respectively, have been analyzed for the branched system  .
