3 Questions
Which protein is responsible for removing methyl groups on the MCP receptors?
CheB
What is the role of CheB methylesterase in the feedback loop?
To reset the receptor for excitation
What is the effect of CheB esterase-dependent removal of MCP methyl groups?
It intensifies the electrostatic force, repelling the MCP struts from each other
"Test Your Knowledge on Bacterial Chemotaxis and MCP Methylation" - Discover the fascinating world of bacterial navigation through chemical gradients. This quiz will challenge your understanding of how bacteria adapt and respond to attractant concentrations through methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) and glutamate residue methylation. Sharpen your knowledge on the mechanisms behind chemotactic memory and the role of MCPs in bacterial behavior.
