Phenotypes of a mutant

• not essential for pellicle biofilm formation, but mutant is outcompeted by the wild-type strain when competed during pellicle formation [Pubmed|26122431]

The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• autophosphorylation, phosphorylation of [protein|2F0495C7EAB81BDB1F3181677C555537BD2A972F|CheY] and [protein|B0415A8CD040EC714B54F4038E065B3E1E20A271|CheB] [Pubmed|11553614]

Modification

• autophosphorylation on a His residue

Effectors of protein activity

• phosphorylation of [protein|6B3B222E56BF0C95A2371CA5208B5522B44D4689|CheA] is stimulated by interaction with the complex of deaminated [protein|8333CD46F704F03A22482CAA98DEFCC945362A10|McpC]-[protein|BE9373BEB682E5F8B0938AAA4ED9B723B357ABAE|CheD] [Pubmed|22931217]
• the kinase activity of [protein|6B3B222E56BF0C95A2371CA5208B5522B44D4689|CheA] is activated by chemoreceptors bound to [protein|BE9373BEB682E5F8B0938AAA4ED9B723B357ABAE|CheD] [Pubmed|23226535]

[SW|Localization]
