Sorry to barge in like this
but can any Tayyabs hopefuls gaz me today for approval please?

If you are cool enough, it's 6:30pm, Saturday 22nd Jan. If you aren't, it still is...but you won't be there.

This has nothing to do with the post, I just wanted everyone else to be as bored as me
E. coli can sense a variety of amino acids, sugars and dipeptides, as well as pH, temperature and redox state using five types of receptors. Most abundant and best studied receptors are those for aspartate (Tar) and serine (Tsr). Receptors anchor the complex in the inner membrane and transmit signals from the periplasmic ligand binding domain to the cytoplasmic part. The cytoplasmic part of the receptor dimer is a four-helix bundle, with highly conserved domain containing four to six specific glutamate residues that are methylated by CheR and demethylated by CheB. The receptor homodimers are organized in trimers by interaction at their helical hairpin tips, and trimers form the minimum functional units. Receptors are predicted to be organized in large allosteric clusters of at least 25 homodimers (Sourjik and Berg, 2004), and these clusters form a high-order structure of thousands of receptors localized at the cell poles.

So how does this work?

It has been some years since I came close to anything biochemical. Just thought I'd humour you for a bit as it's usually helps learning these things if you talk about them to someone else. Even if this means you end up basically having a conversation with yourself whilst they nod politely and start to worry.
(, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 14:30, Reply)
not as such
they methylate or demethylate some residues (slips my mind which) on an internal protein complex in response to the presence or absense of "stuff" outside the cell - the complex acts through the cell membrane - and the level of methylation allows the cell a brief "memory", effectively, of the concentration of "stuff" outside the cell, so the cell can sense concentration gradients in "stuff" and know if it is moving itself towards or away from the "stuff" - which helps for foods and toxins.
