Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli cells express two forms of CheA, the histidine kinase associated with chemotaxis. The long form, CheA(L), plays a critical role in chemotactic signal transduction by phosphorylating two chemotaxis-associated response regulators, CheY and CheB. CheA(L) first autophosphorylates amino acid His-48 before its phosphoryl group is transferred to these response regulators. The short form, CheA(S), lacks...
