Abstract excerpt
Molecular machinery governing bacterial chemotaxis consists of the CheA-CheY two-component system, an array of specialized chemoreceptors, and several auxiliary proteins. It has been studied extensively in Escherichia coli and, to a significantly lesser extent, in several other microbial species. Emerging evidence suggests that homologous signal transduction pathways regulate not only chemotaxis, but several...
