Chemotactic signaling by the P1 phosphorylation domain liberated from the CheA histidine kinase of Escherichia coli.
CheA is a histidine kinase central to the signal transduction pathway for chemotaxis in Escherichia coli. CheA autophosphorylates at His-48, with ATP as the phosphodonor, and then donates its phosphoryl groups to two aspartate autokinases, CheY and CheB. Phospho-CheY controls the flagellar motors, whereas phospho-CheB participates in sensory adaptation. Polypeptides encompassing the N-terminal ...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the P1 phosphorylation domain in Escherichia coli CheA, the signaling kinase for chemotaxis.
The histidine autokinase CheA functions as the central processing unit in the Escherichia coli chemotaxis signaling machinery. CheA receives autophosphorylation control inputs from chemoreceptors and in turn regulates the flux of signaling phosphates to the CheY and CheB response regulator proteins. Phospho-CheY changes the direction of flagellar rotation; phospho-CheB covalently modifies recep...
متن کاملTandem translation starts in the cheA locus of Escherichia coli.
The cheA locus of Escherichia coli encodes two protein products, CheAL and CheAS. The nucleotide sequences of the wild-type cheA locus and of two nonsense alleles confirmed that both proteins are translated in the same reading frame from different start points. These start sites were located on the coding sequence by direct determination of the amino-terminal sequences of the two CheA proteins....
متن کاملStructural and chemical requirements for histidine phosphorylation by the chemotaxis kinase CheA.
The CheA histidine kinase initiates the signal transduction pathway of bacterial chemotaxis by autophosphorylating a conserved histidine on its phosphotransferase domain (P1). Site-directed mutations of neighboring conserved P1 residues (Glu-67, Lys-48, and His-64) show that a hydrogen-bonding network controls the reactivity of the phospho-accepting His (His-45) in Thermotoga maritima CheA. In ...
متن کاملConstruction and characterization of a cheA mutant of Treponema denticola.
The Treponema denticola cheA gene, encoding the central kinase of the general chemotaxis pathway, was analyzed for its role in chemotaxis and tissue penetration. The cheA gene was interrupted by insertion of an ermF-ermAM gene cassette. Reverse transcription-PCR confirmed that the other downstream chemotaxis genes within the same operon (cheW, cheX, and cheY) were still expressed in the cheA mu...
