| Description | This protein family represents Taxis protein CheF1/F2 from Halobacterium salinarum and similar proteins found in archaea. CheF1/2 are archaea-specific adaptor proteins that link the bacterial-like chemotaxis signal transduction system to the archaeal motility machinery [ , ].CheF1 interact with the chemotaxis proteins CheY, CheD and CheC2 as well as the flagella-accessory proteins FlaCE and FlaD, and is essential for any tactic response. This protein is conserved in almost all chemotactic archaea.CheF2 is found in a very limited set of haloarchaea and is thought to have a less important role in chemotaxis [ ]. |
