Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis McpB is a class III chemotaxis receptor, from which methanol is released in response to all stimuli. McpB has four putative methylation sites based upon the Escherichia coli consensus sequence. To explore the nature of methanol release from a class III receptor, all combinations of putative methylation sites Gln(371), Gln(595), Glu(630), and Glu(637) were substituted with aspartate, a...
