Chemotaxis protein CheY1

UniProtKB accession:  P71403

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Chemotactic response regulator protein that modulates the rotation direction of bacterial flagellar motors. Plays an important role in the colonization and infection of Helicobacter pylori (PubMed:10722597). Upon phosphorylation by CheA, interacts with the flagellar motor protein FliM to cause clockwise flagellar rotation and bacterial reversals, as opposed to straight swimming when CheY1 is not phosphorylated (PubMed:20207758).
