Requirements for efficient methylation of Escherichia coli chemoreceptors
Adaptation in the chemosensory pathways of bacteria like Escherichia coli is mediated by methylation and demethylation of specific glutamate residues in the signaling domains of methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs). MCPs can be methylated in trans, in which the methyltransferase (CheR) is tet...
