Structural highlights 1a0o is a 8 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.95Å Ligands: Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CHEY_ECOLI Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. In its active (phosphorylated or acetylated) form, CheY exhibits enhanced binding to a switch component, FliM, at the flagellar motor which induces a change from counterclockwise to clockwise flagellar rotation. Overexpression of CheY in association with MotA and MotB improves motility of a ycgR disruption, suggesting there is an interaction (direct or indirect) between the c-di-GMP-binding flagellar brake protein and the flagellar stator.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Bacterial adaptation to the environment is accomplished through the coordinated activation of specific sensory receptors and signal processing proteins. Among the best characterized of these pathways are those which employ the two-component paradigm. In these systems, signal transmission is mediated by Mg(2+)-dependent phospho-relay reactions between histidine auto-kinases and phospho-accepting receiver domains in response-regulator proteins. Although this mechanism of activation is common to all response-regulators, detrimental cross-talk between different two-component pathways within the same cell is minimized through the use of specific recognition domains. Here, we report the crystal structure, at 2.95 A resolution, of the response regulator of bacterial chemotaxis, CheY, bound to the recognition domain from its cognate histidine kinase, CheA. The structure suggests that molecular recognition, in this low affinity complex (KD = 2 microM), may also contribute to the mechanism of CheY activation.
