Abstract excerpt
Stochastic processes are thought to mediate localization of membrane-associated chemotaxis signaling clusters in peritrichous bacteria. Here, we identified a new family of ParA-like ATPases (designated ParC [for partitioning chemotaxis]) encoded within chemotaxis operons of many polar-flagellated γ-proteobacteria that actively promote polar localization of chemotaxis proteins. In Vibrio cholerae, a single ParC...
