Abstract excerpt
Chemotactic transducer proteins of Escherichia coli contain four or five methyl-accepting glutamates that are crucial for sensory adaptation and gradient sensing. Two residues arise from posttranslational deamidation of glutamines to yield methyl-accepting glutamates. We addressed the significance of this arrangement by creating two mutated trg genes: trg(5E), coding for a transducer in which all five...
