Mg2+, Ca2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase as receptor for divalent cations in bacterial sensing.
The Mg2+, Ca2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase responsible for interconversion of the energized membrane state to adenosine triphosphate is the receptor for divalent metal ions in bacterial chemotaxis. The receptors controlling bacterial behavior show a common pattern of dual functions.
