Methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein McpB

UniProtKB accession:  Q9I6V6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Chemoreceptor that plays a critical role in the virulence and pathogenesis of P.aeruginosa in a variety of hosts (PubMed:31511598). Probably acts through oxygen sensing (PubMed:31511598, PubMed:28167524, PubMed:34383467). Uses a heme-based sensor (PubMed:21255112, PubMed:22622145). Could be involved in chemotaxis (PubMed:12142407, PubMed:14987771). When expressed in E.coli, is able to sense and mediate repellent responses to oxygen, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide (PubMed:21255112).
