ASSIGNMENTS, SECONDARY STRUCTURE, GLOBAL FOLD, AND DYNAMICS OF CHEMOTAXIS Y PROTEIN USING THREE-AND FOUR-DIMENSIONAL HETERONUCLEAR (13C,15N) NMR SPECTROSCOPY
Structural highlights
FunctionCHEY_ECOLI Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. In its active (phosphorylated or acetylated) form, CheY exhibits enhanced binding to a switch component, FliM, at the flagellar motor which induces a change from counterclockwise to clockwise flagellar rotation. Overexpression of CheY in association with MotA and MotB improves motility of a ycgR disruption, suggesting there is an interaction (direct or indirect) between the c-di-GMP-binding flagellar brake protein and the flagellar stator.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedNMR spectroscopy has been used to study recombinant Escherichia coli CheY, a 128-residue protein involved in regulating bacterial chemotaxis. Heteronuclear three- and four-dimensional (3D and 4D) experiments have provided sequence-specific resonance assignments and quantitation of short-, medium-, and long-range distance restraints from nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) intensities. These distance restraints were further supplemented with measurements of three-bond scalar coupling constants to define the local dihedral angles, and with the identification of amide protons undergoing slow solvent exchange from which hydrogen-bonding patterns were identified. The current model structure shows the same global fold of CheY as existing X-ray structures (Volz & Matsumura, 1991; Stock et al. 1993) with a (beta/alpha)5 motif of five parallel beta-strands at the central core surrounded by three alpha-helices on one face and with two on the opposite side. Heteronuclear 15N-1H relaxation experiments are interpreted to show portions of the protein structure in the Mg2+ binding loop are ill-defined because of slow motion (chemical exchange) on the NMR time scale. Moreover, the presence of Mg2+ disrupts the salt bridge between the highly conserved Lys-109 and Asp-57, the site of phosphorylation.
