Question

In the context of bacterial chemotaxis, how does the concentration of the phosphorylated CheY protein influence the direction of flagellar rotation?

Accepted Answer

High levels of phosphorylated CheY cause clockwise rotation, leading to tumbling.

Answer

High levels of phosphorylated CheY cause counterclockwise rotation, leading to smooth swimming.

Answer

Low levels of phosphorylated CheY cause clockwise rotation, leading to tumbling.

Answer

Phosphorylated CheY does not affect flagellar rotation but influences the cell’s metabolism.
