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-chemotactic and tumble constantly. We characterized the effects of two mutations in CheZ, R54C and V166G, that are unusual in...
