    Summary
    Tsr also senses energy levels and is involved in aerotaxis, redox taxis and glycerol repellent taxis. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG11034]. Tsr is a serine chemoreceptor in Escherichia coli and binds directly to the MCP periplasmic domain. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11034].

    5. results indicate that, rather than being essential for proper receptor-receptor interaction, the "glycine hinge" residues are involved in the ability of the receptor to switch between different signaling states. Mainly, the C-helix residue G439 has a key role in shifting the equilibrium toward a kinase-activating conformation.

    6. These results indicate that the E402 and R404 residues of Tsr play their most critical signaling roles at their inner locations near the trimer axis where they likely participate in stabilizing the trimer-of-dimer packing and the kinase-ON state of core signaling complexes.
