Helical distribution of the bacterial chemoreceptor via colocalization with the Sec protein translocation machinery

In Escherichia coli, chemoreceptor clustering at a cell pole seems critical for signal amplification and adaptation. However, little is known about the mechanism of localization itself. Here we examined whether the aspartate chemoreceptor (Tar) is inserted directly into the polar membrane by using i...
