Abstract excerpt
The transmembrane domain that connects the extracellular and intracellular domains of cell-surface receptors must play a critical role in signal transduction. Here, we report studies of the interaction between the transmembrane helices (TM1 and TM2) of the Escherichia coli aspartate chemoreceptor (Tar). Tar exists as a homodimer regardless of its state of ligand occupancy. A particular residue substitution in TM1...
