Chemotaxis is crucial for the survival of bacteria, and the signaling systems associated with
it exhibit a high level of evolutionary conservation. The architecture of the chemosensory …

Palm oil production in Indonesia increased constantly over the last decades, which led to
massive deforestation, especially on Sumatra island. The ongoing conversion of rainforest to …

The archaellum is the macromolecular machinery that Archaea use for propulsion or surface
adhesion, enabling them to proliferate and invade new territories. The molecular …

Two-component systems (TCS) are widespread signaling systems present in all domains of
life. TCS typically consist of a signal receptor/transducer and a response regulator. The …

To enable the processing of chemical gradients, chemotactic bacteria possess large arrays
of transmembrane chemoreceptors, the histidine kinase CheA, and the adaptor protein …

Allosteric and transmembrane (TM) signaling are among the major questions of structural
biology. Here, we review and discuss signal transduction in four‐helical TM bundles …

Chemotaxis signaling pathways enable bacteria to sense and respond to their chemical
environment and, in some species, are critical for lifestyle processes such as biofilm …

Archaea are ubiquitously present in nature and colonize environments with broadly varying
growth conditions. Several surface appendages support their colonization of new habitats. A …

Bacteria and archaea exhibit tactical behavior and can move up and down chemical
gradients. This tactical behavior relies on a motility structure, which is guided by a …

The Escherichia coli chemoreceptor array is a supramolecular assembly that enables cells
to respond to extracellular cues dynamically and with great precision and sensitivity. In the …
