In order to determine whether ClpXP-mediated proteolysis is a common mechanism used to regulate the chemotaxis machinery during the cell cycle of Caulobacter crescentus, we have characterized a soluble cytoplasmic chemoreceptor, McpB. The mcpB gene lies adjacent to the major chemotaxis operon, which encodes 12 chemotaxis proteins, including the membrane chemoreceptor McpA. Like McpA, McpB possesses a C-terminal CheBR docking motif and three potential methylation sites, which we suggest are methy ...[more]
