Site-specific and synergistic stimulation of methylation on the bacterial chemotaxis receptor Tsr by serine and the binding protein CheW
The reversible methylation of certain residues in the transmembrane receptors mediates adaptation to changes in attractant concentration. In Tsr, four glutamic acid residues (E297, E304, E311, and E493) have been identified as major methylation sites. However, no studies have been conducted on these...
