The bacterial chemotaxis receptors are transmembrane receptors with a simple signalling pathway which has elements relevant to the general understanding of signal recognition and transduction across membranes, how signals are relayed between molecules in a pathway, and how adaptation to a persistent signal is achieved.

Bacterial chemotaxis receptors are composed of a ligand-binding domain, a transmembrane domain consisting of two helices TM1 and TM2, and a cytoplasmic domain. All known bacterial chemotaxis receptors have a highly conserved cytoplasmic domain, which unites signals from different ligand domains into a single signalling pathway to flagella motors.

The spinning protein (<scene name='User:Lynmarie_K_Thompson/Sandbox_1/Loadedfrompdb/4'>Initial view</scene>) ) is the ligand binding domain of the aspartate receptor with the aspartate ligand bound (LKT).




Molecular Playground banner: A bacterial chemotaxis receptor protein used by bacteria to "smell" their environment.
The structure of the cytoplasmic domain of a serine chemotaxis receptor(TSR) of Escherichia coli is a 200 A-long coiled-coil of two antiparallel helices connected by a 'U-turn'. Two of these domains form a long, supercoiled, four-helical bundle in the cytoplasmic portion of the receptor.
