Questions and Answers

Which protein is responsible for removing methyl groups on the MCP receptors?

  • CheR
  • CheB (correct)
  • SAM
  • CheA
  • What is the role of CheB methylesterase in the feedback loop?

  • To reset the receptor for excitation (correct)
  • To increase the negative charge on the receptor
  • To activate the CheA kinase activity
  • To remove attractant from the environment
  • What is the effect of CheB esterase-dependent removal of MCP methyl groups?

  • It neutralizes the negative charges on the signaling domains of an MCP dimer
  • It intensifies the electrostatic force, repelling the MCP struts from each other (correct)
  • It reduces the repulsive electrostatic effects, allowing the MCP struts to move closer to each other
  • It increases the CheA-PO4 level, leading to higher CheA kinase activity
