Structural insights into the mechanism of archaellar rotational switching

Nature Communications, 2022
Signal transduction via phosphorylated CheY is conserved in bacteria and archaea. In this study, the authors employ structural biochemistry combined with cell biology to delineate the mechanism of CheY recognition by the adaptor protein CheF.
