Description
CheA is a regulatory protein that becomes activated when the methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (MCP) is not bound to any attractant. The activated cheA self-phosphorylates itself by hydrolyzing ATP in order to gain a phosphate group. CheA then donates its phosphate group to activate cheB or cheA.Used for researcher control of signaling mechanisms that influence flagella function.
Cloning and Uses
This part was generated via PCR from the E. coli strain DH5α and cloned into the vector pSB1C3. It is to be used with other chemotaxis genes to form a complete regulatory pathway that controls the response system in MCP and the direction of rotation in flagella.
