'''CheA''' exists as a homodimer of 71-kDa subunits. Each monomer catalyzes an ATP-dependent ''trans''-phosphorylation of a histidine.  A monomer contains five domains (P1-P5 from N- to C-terminus) connected by highly dynamic linkers of various lengths.  Each domain has a distinct function.Due to the size of CheA, the solved structures available to date do not have all five domains.  Included in this proteopedia page are [[2lp4]] which contains a <scene name='User:Elizabeth_R._Haglin/Sandbox_1/P1_p2_chey/1'>P1P2</scene>-<font color= 'red'>CheY</font> complex, and [[1b3q]] with a dimer of P3P4P5.
