McpB
Chemotaxis is the process by which motile bacteria sense their environment and move towards more favorable surroundings. Environmental ligands are sensed upon binding to transmembrane receptors called methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs).
Usage and Biology
Asparagine chemotaxis in Bacillus subtilis appears to involve two partially redundant adaptation mechanisms: a receptor methylation-independent process that operates at low attractant concentrations and a receptor methylation-dependent process that is
required for optimal responses to high concentrations. In order to elucidate these processes, chemotactic responses were assessed for strains
expressing methylation-defective mutations in the asparagine receptor, McpB.
