The methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) are concentrated at the cell poles in an evolutionarily diverse panel of bacteria and an archeon. In elongated cells, the MCPs are located both at the poles and at regions along the length of the cells. Together, these results suggest that MCP location is evolutionarily conserved.
甲基接受趋化蛋白(MCPs)在多种进化上不同的细菌和古细菌的细胞极处富集。在细长型细胞中,MCPs既位于细胞极处也位于细胞长度方向的区域。这些结果共同表明,MCP的定位在进化上是保守的。
