Evolutionary Genomics Suggests That CheV Is an Additional Adaptor for Accommodating Specific Chemoreceptors within the Chemotaxis Signaling Complex
Fig 7
Schematic models of possible integration of CheV into the chemoreceptor array.
Top-view of the arrangement of the array components showing the known and proposed interaction sites between chemoreceptor trimers (blue), CheA (yellow) and CheW (red) [36, 37], as well as potential locations of CheV (green). Chemoreceptors that interact with CheV are marked with asterisks. A) CheV occupies the proposed empty ring and does not interact with CheAP5 or CheW. B) CheV might be incorporated with CheW and CheAP5 into the hexagonal ring.
