cheC | CheY-P phosphatase CheC; Involved in restoring normal CheY-P levels following the addition of attractant by increasing the rate of CheY-P hydrolysis. Is only 6% as active as FliY, which indicates that CheC may function after addition of an attractant to cope with increased levels of CheY-P whereas FliY may function constitutively to remove CheY-P around the flagellar switch to maintain an optimal level of CheY-P. In addition, it was shown to prevent methylation of the methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs). Inhibits CheD. (209 aa) | ||||
mcpC | Methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein; Chemotactic-signal transducers respond to changes in the concentration of attractants and repellents in the environment, transduce a signal from the outside to the inside of the cell, and facilitate sensory adaptation through the variation of the level of methylation. All amino acids serve as attractants in B.subtilis, they appear to cause an increase in the turnover methyl groups, leading to methylation of an unidentified acceptor, while repellents have been shown to cause a decrease in methyl group turnover. The methyl groups are added by a methyl [...] (655 aa) | ||||
fliM | Flagellar motor switching and energizing component; One of the proteins that forms a switch complex that is proposed to be located at the base of the basal body. This complex interacts with chemotaxis proteins (such as CheY) in addition to contacting components of the motor that determine the direction of flagellar rotation; Belongs to the FliM family.
