Phosphorylation-dependent binding of the chemotaxis signal molecule CheY to its phosphatase, CheZ.
Biochemistry - 1 Feb 1994
Blat Y, Eisenbach M
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial chemotaxis is accomplished by regulating the direction of flagellar rotation. The primary target of the control appears to be CheY, a diffusible clockwise-signal molecule which interacts with the switch at the base of the flagellar motor and causes clockwise rotation. The regulatory mechanism appears to be phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of CheY. Here we demonstrate that CheZ, which accelerates the...
