Many bacteria can "smell" their surroundings and "choose" where to go. They detect molecules such as amino acids or sugars using receptors that bind these molecules and transmit a signal into the cell. This signal controls several proteins which ultimately control the direction of rotation of the motors that rotate the flagella. One direction causes the cell to continue swimming; the other direction causes the cell to tumble. When an attractant molecule binds, the receptor signals: "Things look good, keep swimming!" The opposite signal occurs when bacteria sense a repellant or less attractant molecules: "Time to tumble and try a new swimming direction."

A bacterial chemotaxis receptor is an unusually long alpha-helical structure. The attractant molecule (the ligand) binds near the top of this picture and sends a signal across the membrane into the cell to control proteins that bind near the bottom. This is a model of the structure of the receptor based on experimental structures of pieces of related proteins.

DnaA is an AAA+ protein in prokaryotes for DNA replication initiation.

DnaA function is regulated by different nucleotide binding state. In ATP bound state, DnaA can recognize more binding elements on the chromosome(called DnaA box), and initiate replication by unwinding specific region in the DNA and recruit DnaB helicase. However, after the ATP hydrolysis, DnaA-ADP becomes an inactive protein. This activity change was shown to be associated with its oligomeric assembly state.

CheW is a chemotaxis adaptor protein, and part of the tertiary complex formed by the chemotaxis receptor, histidine kinase protein CheA, and CheW. As an adaptor protein, CheW mediates the interaction between the chemotaxis receptor and CheA, and is necessary for the formation of kinase active complexes. CheW has been found to bind to the P5 domain of CheA through crystallographic studies.

DnaA is an AAA+ protein in prokaryotes for DNA replication initiation. To ensure correct timing of DNA replication, intracellular DnaA is under multi-level control, including changing expression/degradation level, regulator control and functional activation/inactivation by nucleotide-depedent conformational change. DnaA is a conserved protein in prokaryotes. In E. coli, There are four regions in this protein[1]:
