Abstract excerpt
The initial signaling events underlying the chemotactic response of Escherichia coli to aspartic acid occur within a ternary complex that includes Tar (an aspartate receptor), CheA (a protein kinase), and CheW. Because CheW can bind to CheA and to Tar, it is thought to serve as an adapter protein in this complex. The functional importance of CheW binding interactions, however, has not been investigated. To better...
