Bending at flexible hinges was not correlated with the chemoreceptor signaling state.
2
Bacteria use chemoreceptor proteins to sense and navigate their chemical environments.
3
This newly observed feature of chemoreceptor structure could be involved in receptor function.
4
There are atomic-resolution structures of chemoreceptor fragments but not of intact, membrane-inserted receptors.
5
We conclude that the ABT is a reproducible test of peripheral chemoreceptor function under standardized conditions.
6
Thus the chemoreceptor is strongly influenced by its lipid environment and is tuned to its natural one.
7
The thousands of chemoreceptor cells along its upper tentacles were similar to those inside a human nose.
8
Instead, maximal activation and thus full-range control of kinase occurred preferentially in discs containing approximately three chemoreceptor dimers.
9
Motile Escherichia coli cells track gradients of attractant and repellent chemicals in their environment with transmembrane chemoreceptor proteins.
10
A dynamic, loosely packed chemoreceptor domain can account for many experimental observations about the transmembrane domains of chemoreceptors.
11
This response is largely controlled by the bacterial chemoreceptor TlpB, and the main attractant emanating from epithelia is urea.
12
The carotid body is the main arterial chemoreceptor in mammals that mediates the cardiorespiratory reflexes activated by acute hypoxia.
13
Hypoventilation in neuromuscular diseases results from both respiratory muscle weakness and reduced chemoreceptor sensitivity, which is required for ventilatory drive.
14
In addition, C. inopinata exhibits massive gene losses in chemoreceptor gene families, which could be correlated with its limited habitat area.
15
High-resolution structures are available for the chemoreceptor periplasmic domain and part of the cytoplasmic domain but not for the transmembrane domain.
16
Nanodiscs carrying an inserted receptor dimer have high protein-to-lipid ratios approximating native membranes and in this way mimic the natural chemoreceptor environment.
