The bacterial chemotaxis signal transducer MCP is an integral membrane receptor protein. The chemoreceptor is localized at the flagellum-bearing pole of Caulobacter crescentus swarmer cells. Amino-terminal sequences of the MCP target the protein to the membrane while the carboxy-terminal portion of the protein is responsible for polar localization. The C. crescentus and Escherichia coli MCPs have highly conserved carboxy-terminal domains, and when an E. coli MCP is expressed in C. crescentus, it is targeted to the swarmer cell progeny. These results suggest that subcellular localization of a prokaryotic protein involves interaction of specific regions of the protein with unique cell sites that contain either localized binding proteins or a specific secretory apparatus.
