A divergent CheW confers plasticity to nucleoid-associated chemosensory arrays
A. Guiseppi, J.-J. Vicente, J. Herrou…·E. Mauriello
The paper identifies FrzB, a divergent CheW in M. xanthus, which lacks the CheA-interacting region and functions upstream of FrzCD to enable distributed chemosensory arrays on the nucleoid, conferring plasticity to chemosensory systems.
