The carboxy-terminal portion of the CheA kinase mediates regulation of autophosphorylation by transducer and CheW.
The CheA kinase is a central protein in the signal transduction network that controls chemotaxis in Escherichia coli. CheA receives information from a transmembrane receptor (e.g., Tar) and CheW proteins and relays it to the CheB and CheY proteins. The biochemical activities of CheA proteins truncated at various distances from the carboxy terminus were examined. The carboxy-terminal portion of ...
متن کاملGenetic evidence for interaction between the CheW and Tsr proteins during chemoreceptor signaling by Escherichia coli.
This study presents two lines of genetic evidence consistent with the premise that CheW, a cytoplasmic component of the chemotactic signaling system of Escherichia coli, interacts directly with Tsr, the membrane-bound serine chemoreceptor. (i) We demonstrated phenotypic suppression between 10 missense mutant CheW proteins and six missense mutant Tsr proteins. Most of these mutant proteins had l...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the chemoreceptor-coupling domain of the Escherichia coli chemotaxis signaling kinase CheA.
During chemotactic signaling by Escherichia coli, autophosphorylation of the histidine kinase CheA is coupled to chemoreceptor control by the CheW protein, which interacts with the C-terminal P5 domain of CheA. To identify P5 determinants important for CheW binding and receptor coupling control, we isolated and characterized a series of P5 missense mutants. The mutants fell into four phenotypic...
متن کاملDisruption of chemoreceptor signalling arrays by high levels of CheW, the receptor-kinase coupling protein.
During chemotactic signalling by Escherichia coli, the small cytoplasmic CheW protein couples the histidine kinase CheA to chemoreceptor control. Although essential for assembly and operation of receptor signalling complexes, CheW in stoichiometric excess disrupts chemotactic behaviour. To explore the mechanism of the CheW excess effect, we measured the physiological consequences of high cellul...
متن کاملCysteine-scanning analysis of the chemoreceptor-coupling domain of the Escherichia coli chemotaxis signaling kinase CheA.
The C-terminal P5 domain of the histidine kinase CheA is essential for coupling CheA autophosphorylation activity to chemoreceptor control through a binding interaction with the CheW protein. To locate P5 determinants critical for CheW binding and chemoreceptor control, we surveyed cysteine replacements at 39 residues predicted to be at or near the P5 surface in Escherichia coli CheA. Two-third...
