Structure and dynamics of the E. coli chemotaxis core signaling complex by cryo-electron tomography and molecular simulations [PDF]
, 2020 To enable the processing of chemical gradients, chemotactic bacteria possess large arrays of transmembrane chemoreceptors, the histidine kinase CheA, and the adaptor protein CheW, organized as coupled core-signaling units (CSU). Despite decades of study,

Olfactory Receptor Proteins in Axonal Processes of Chemosensory Neurons [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2004 Olfactory receptors are supposed to act not only as molecular sensors for odorants but also as cell recognition molecules guiding the axons of olfactory neurons to their appropriate glomerulus in the olfactory bulb. This concept implies that olfactory receptor proteins are located in sensory cilia and in the axons.

Membrane Proteins Mediating Reception and Transduction in Chemosensory Neurons in Mosquitoes
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Mosquitoes use chemical cues to modulate important behaviors such as feeding, mating, and egg laying. The primary chemosensory organs comprising the paired antennae, maxillary palps and labial palps are adorned with porous sensilla that house primary ...

Identification of candidate chemosensory genes in Mythimna separata by transcriptomic analysis
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata, is an economically important and common Lepidopteran pest of cereal crops. Chemoreception plays a key role in insect life, such as foraging, oviposition site selection, and mating partners.

Cloning of the C-terminal cytoplasmic fragment of the tar protein and effects of the fragment on chemotaxis of Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 1988 A gene encoding only the C-terminal portion of the receptor-transducer protein Tar of Escherichia coli was constructed. The gene product was detected and localized in the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell by immunoblotting with anti-Tar antibodies.
