The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

• Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:

• Protein family:

• Paralogous protein(s): CheW (N-terminal domain of CheV)

Extended information on the protein

• Kinetic information:

• Domains: N-terminal CheW-like domain, C-terminal two-component receiver domain PubMed

• Modification: the C-terminal two-component receiver domain is phosphorylated on a Asp residue by CheA PubMed

• Cofactor(s):

• Effectors of protein activity:

• Interactions:
  • CheA-CheY PubMed

• Localization:
  • forms lateral clusters (phosphorylated form), but in the presence of high asparagine concentration (non-phosphorylated form) there is a reversible re-localization to the poles of the cell PubMed
