Mutational analysis of a transmembrane segment in a bacterial chemoreceptor.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1996

Baumgartner J W, Hazelbauer G L

Abstract excerpt

Trg is a member of a family of receptors that mediates chemotaxis by Escherichia coli. Its transmembrane domain is a loose four-helix bundle consisting of two helices from each of the two identical subunits. This domain mediates transmembrane signaling through a conformational change in which the...
