Description
CheB removes the methyl group that are attached to the gamma-glutamyl methyl ester residues located in the methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (MCP). This allows for the bacteria to remain alert to the changes in the environment.
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.
Notes
none
