J23113-B0034-CheZ

cheZ (BBa_K629003) combined with an RBS (BBa_B0034) and constitutive promoter (BBa_J23113). This part was created to see if expression of cheZ in a cheZ-knockout strain would restore its motility. Similar parts are: BBa_K1381012 and BBa_K1381013.

cheZ
Chemotaxis is the cell’s system for directed movement which allows the cell to move towards nutrition sources as well as away from toxic substances. The chemotactic system is a complex chain of phosphorylation reactions. At the end of the chain is the flagellum-binding protein CheY. The phosphorylated CheY (CheY-p) binds the flagella and causes the cell to tumble in place, essentially remaining immotile. The phosphatase CheZ dephosphorylates CheY, causing CheY to unbind to the flagella, resulting in directed movement of the cell [1].
