Protein exchange dynamics at chemoreceptor clusters in Escherichia coli

Abstract: Signal processing in bacterial chemotaxis relies on large sensory complexes consisting of thousands of protein molecules. These clusters create a scaffold that increases the efficiency of pathway reactions and amplifies and integrates chemotactic signals. The cluster core in Escherichia coli comprises a ternary complex composed of receptors, kinase CheA, and adaptor protein CheW. All other chemotaxis proteins localize to clusters by binding either directly to receptors or to CheA. Here, we used fluorescence re… Show more

“…The simplest explanation is that virtually all MCPs are captured in arrays, whereas a substantial portion of CheW and CheA is free in solution and able to exchange with their counterparts within the arrays. In fact, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments have indicated an average lifetime at 20°C of only about 12 min for both CheA and CheW within an E. coli receptor patch in vivo (39). In contrast, the receptors themselves persist within a patch for more than a cell generation (39).…”

“…The dynamic behavior of CckA-GFP was increased in Caulobacter relative to E. coli cells, possibly because of competition with other proteins for binding to PopZ. Both of these proteins were more dynamic than McpA-GFP, a transmembrane chemoreceptor that forms stable clusters (27).…”

“…Fluorescent imaging (16)(17)(18) and cryoEM tomography (19)(20)(21) reveal large polar or lateral clusters of receptors, with cryoEM revealing a slightly disordered honeycomb lattice of trimers. Receptors within clusters are relatively stable, as demonstrated by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (22) and by receptor cross-linking (9).…”
