3G67, 3G6B - PubMed Abstract: 
Transmembrane chemoreceptors, also known as methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs), translate extracellular signals into intracellular responses in the bacterial chemotaxis system. MCP ligand binding domains control the activity of the CheA kinase, situated approximately 200 A away, across the cytoplasmic membrane ...
