The authors use fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to determine that co-localization of CheY and CheZ at the polar receptor-signaling complex leads to a uniform distribution of CheY∼P throughout the cell, and a uniform response from flagellar motors positioned around the cell envelop.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102 (2005) 15623-15628. Using disulfide crosslinking the authors established that both CheA and CheW decrease the dynamic exchange of receptors between multimeric chemoreceptor signaling complexes.

This study provides the first computational comparison of the E. coli and Bacillus subtilis chemotaxis systems. The authors showed that while the orthologous proteins appearing in each chemotaxis system adopt different system architectures the feedback control structure in each system facilitates robustness.

By analyzing the noise and power spectrum of the reversals of a single bacterial motor, the authors derived insights into the biochemical sources of noise and their effect on chemotaxis behavior.

These authors used FRET to examine inter-receptor communication within mixed chemoreceptor populations. The results suggest that receptor-signaling arrays function as cooperative units with two-state outputs.
