Protein
Chemotaxis protein CheW
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Involved in the transmission of sensory signals from the chemoreceptors to the flagellar motors. It physically bridges CheA to the MCPs (methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins) to allow regulated phosphotransfer to CheY and CheB.
