Protein
Multiple sugar-binding periplasmic receptor ChvE
Organism
Agrobacterium fabrum (strain C58 / ATCC 33970)
Function
Required for effective transcriptional induction of the vir genes by monosaccharides in response to plant signals and for normal growth and chemotaxis towards certain sugars. Function as a periplasmic multiple sugar-binding receptor protein. It does not interact with a transport system.
