Abstract excerpt
CheZ is a component of the chemotaxis signal-transduction pathway in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. It is responsible for accelerating dephosphorylation of CheY and thereby antagonizing the tumble-promoting activity of CheY. In the absence of functional CheZ, cells are non-chemotact...
