Receptor sensitivity in bacterial chemotaxis.
Chemoreceptors in Escherichia coli are coupled to the flagella by a labile phosphorylated intermediate, CheY approximately P. Its activity can be inferred from the rotational bias of flagellar motors, but motor response is stochastic and limited to a narrow physiological range. Here we use fluorescence resonance energy transfer to monitor interactions of CheY approximately P with its phosphatas...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Bacterial Chemotaxis Models
Chemotaxis is the process, by which cells sense changes in their chemical environment and move towards more favorable onditions. This process is controlled by signaling pathways, which are relatively simple, but bear several important features of he ones of higher organisms. Sensitivity analysis of mathematical chemotaxis models of bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus ubtilis was carried out ...
متن کاملEffects of receptor interaction in bacterial chemotaxis.
Signaling in bacterial chemotaxis is mediated by several types of transmembrane chemoreceptors. The chemoreceptors form tight polar clusters whose functions are of great biological interest. Here, we study the general properties of a chemotaxis model that includes interaction between neighboring chemoreceptors within a receptor cluster and the appropriate receptor methylation and demethylation ...
متن کاملModelling the bacterial chemotaxis receptor complex.
The pathway controlling chemotaxis in Escherichia coli is the simplest and most well understood cell signalling system to date. However, quantitative models based on the available data still fail to reproduce important features of the pathway. Most notably, the observed sensitivity of cells to very small changes in stimulus concentrations cannot be reproduced by conventional models based on the...
متن کاملNoise-Induced Increase of Sensitivity in Bacterial Chemotaxis.
Flagellated bacteria, like Escherichia coli, can swim toward beneficial environments by modulating the rotational direction of their flagellar motors through a chemotaxis signal transduction network. The noise of this network, the random fluctuation of the intracellular concentration of the signal protein CheY-P with time, has been identified in studies of single cell behavioral variability, an...
