UniProt functional annotation for P0AE67

UniProt code: P0AE67.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. In its active (phosphorylated or acetylated) form, CheY exhibits enhanced binding to a switch component, FliM, at the flagellar motor which induces a change from counterclockwise to clockwise flagellar rotation. Overexpression of CheY in association with MotA and MotB improves motility of a ycgR disruption, suggesting there is an interaction (direct or indirect) between the c-di-GMP-binding flagellar brake protein and the flagellar stator. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20346719}.
 
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit.;
Subunit: Interacts (phosphorylated CheY) with CheZ (via C-terminus). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080332, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9437425}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by CheA or acetylated by acetyl-CoA synthetase, depending on which acetate metabolism pathway is available. The major acetylation site seems to be Lys-92. Dephosphorylated (inactivated) by CheZ. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11359578, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1390767, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2689446, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3280143, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9560203}.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=13966; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:9560203};
Mass spectrometry: Mass=14008; Method=Electrospray; Note=With N6- acetyl-Lys-92.; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:9560203};
