Protein existenceEvidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. CheA is autophosphorylated; it can transfer its phosphate group to either CheB or CheY.

Catalytic activity

ATP + protein L-histidine = ADP + protein N-phospho-L-histidine.

Subunit structure

An in vitro complex of CheW/CheA(L)/CheA(S) in a 1:1:1 ratio increases the autophosphorylation of CheA and is required for the binding of CheY, the phosphorylation substrate. This complex accounts for 10% of the total number of molecules. Ref.7

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm.

Domain

May have three functional domains: one for interaction with CheB and CheY, a second for regulating phosphorylation and controlling the stability of the protein, and a third for receiving input signals regulating CheA activity. Ref.6

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 cheW-like domain.

Contains 1 histidine kinase domain.

Contains 1 HPt domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative initiation. [Align] [Select]
