Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis gene encoding CheB (cheBB), the chemotactic methylesterase, has been sequenced. The 39-kDa protein which resulted from the expression of cheBB, using a T7 expression system was consistent with the predicted open reading frame. CheBB shares 39.5% identity with Escherichia coli CheBE and can complement a cheBE null mutant. CheBB is required for removal of methyl groups from the receptors upon...
