Abstract excerpt
The serine and aspartate chemosensory receptors (Tsr and Tar) of Escherichia coli have two membrane-spanning regions TM1 and TM2. To investigate their roles in transmembrane signalling, we constructed two chimeric receptors from Tsr and Tar with heterologous combinations of TM1 and TM2: the N-terminus of one receptor, including TM1 and the periplasmic domain, was fused to the C-terminus of the other, beginning...
