A mechanism for precision-sensing via a gradient-sensing pathway: a model of Escherichia coli thermotaxis.

Biophysical journal - 8 Jul 2009

Jiang Lili, Ouyang Qi, Tu Yuhai

Abstract excerpt

Thermotaxis is the phenomenon where an organism directs its movement toward its preferred temperature. So far, the molecular origin for this precision-sensing behavior remains a puzzle. We propose a model of Escherichia coli thermotaxis and show that the precision-sensing behavior in E. coli thermotaxis can be carried out by the gradient-sensing chemotaxis pathway under two general conditions. First, the...
