The nucleoid as a scaffold for the assembly of bacterial signaling complexes.

The nucleoid as a scaffold for the assembly of bacterial signaling complexes.

The FrzCD chemoreceptor from the gliding bacterium Myxococcus xanthus forms cytoplasmic clusters that occupy a large central region of the cell body also occupied by the nucleoid. In this work, we show that FrzCD directly binds to the nucleoid with its N-terminal positively charged tail and recruits...
