Origins of chemoreceptor curvature sorting in Escherichia coli
It is unclear how bacterial chemoreceptors are reliably targeted to the cell poles. Here, Draper and Liphardt show that chemoreceptor localization is highly sensitive to membrane curvature in live bacteria, and engineer curvature sensitivity into several multi-component synthetic protein complexes.
