This entry represents the ligand-binding domain found in a number of methyl-accepting chemotaxis receptors, such as E.coli Tar (taxis to aspartate and repellents), which is a receptor for the attractant L-aspartate [1,2] and also recognises proteogenic amino acids, phthalic acid, Malic acid, 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, citrate, benzoate and derivatives, protocatechuate, vanillate, quinate, shikimate and dehydroshikimate (Matilla et al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043).
