Sci. STKE, 14 May 2002 PERSPECTIVESInformation Processing in Bacterial ChemotaxisJeffry B. Stock*, Mikhail N. Levit, and Peter M. Wolanin Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA. Summary: Motile bacteria respond to attractants and repellents in their environment by changing their movement. Stock et al. describe the similarities of the bacterial chemotaxis signaling system to eukaryotic signaling cascades. Also included is a discussion of how the ordered signaling complex of the receptor, the kinase CheA, and the kinase regulator CheW can be thought of as a primitive "probrain" to allow the integration of signals to produce the optimal cellular response. *Corresponding author.
