Contents

Chemotaxis in bacteria is controlled by regulating the direction of flagellar rotation. The regulation is carried out by the chemotaxis protein CheY. When phosphorylated, CheY binds to FliM, which is one of the proteins that constitute the ``gear box'' (or ``switch'') of the flagellar motor. Consequently, the motor shifts from the default direction...
