As an adaptor protein, CheW mediates the interaction between the chemotaxis receptor and CheA, and is necessary for the formation of kinase active complexes. CheW has been found to bind to the P5 domain of CheA through crystallographic studies. At right, CheW is shown with suppression mutants (blue)that have been measured to decrease receptor binding and chemotaxis (SMJ).
