CheZ-GFP

Upon recognition of a small molecule (e.g. nutrients or toxins), chemoreceptors transduce a signal through a set of Che proteins. This group of methylesterases and phosphatases regulates the rotation of the flagella. At the end of the chain of Che proteins is CheY. In phosphorylated state, CheY binds the flagella and causes the cells to tumble. The phosphatase CheZ dephosphorylates CheY, inducing dissociation of CheY from the flagella enabling the cells to swim. Cells lacking the CheZ protein are unable to swim and will tumble excessively and incessantly.
