UniProt functional annotation for P0AE68

UniProt code: P0AE68.

Organism: Escherichia coli O157:H7.
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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000250};
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by CheA or acetylated by acetyl-CoA synthetase, depending on which acetate metabolism pathway is available. {ECO:0000250}.
