  • Different receptors have evolved in organisms to sense different stimuli in their surroundings. The interaction among the receptors can significantly increase sensory sensitivity and adaptation precision. To study the influence of interaction among different types of chemoreceptors on the adaptation rate in the bacterial chemotaxis signaling network, we systematically compared the adaptation time between the wild-type strain expressing mixed types of receptors and the mutant strain expressing only Tar receptors (namely, the Tar-only strain) under stepwise addition of different concentrations of L-aspartate using FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) and bead assays. We find that the wild type exhibits faster adaptation than the mutant under the same concentration of saturated stimulus. In contrast, the wild type exhibits slower adaptation than the mutant under unsaturated stimuli that induce the same magnitude of response, and this is independent of the level of receptor expression. The same result is obtained for the network relaxation time by monitoring the steady-state rotational signal of the flagellar motors. By simulating bacterial chemotaxis with different adaptation rates in a stable gradient of chemoattractants, we confirm that the interaction of different types of receptors can effectively promote chemotaxis of Escherichia coli under a stable spatial gradient of attractants while ensuring minimum noise in the cell position distribution.
    The interaction of chemoreceptors in Escherichia coli influences the rate of adaptation and enhances bacterial chemotaxis.

    • The wild-type Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain exhibits faster adaptation than the mutant expressing only one type of receptors, when subjected to the same concentration of saturated stimulus.
    • The wild-type strain exhibits slower adaptation than the mutant under unsaturated stimuli that induce the same magnitude of response, and this is independent of the level of receptor expression.
    • The interaction between different types of receptors in E. coli can effectively enhance chemotaxis under a stable spatial gradient of attractants, while simultaneously ensuring minimum noise in the cell position distribution.

    Figure  1.  (a) A typical trace of the step response to 10 μmol/L L-aspartate. The stimulus was added at t = 120 s and removed at t = 600 s. The FRET value was defined as the intensity ratio of the YFP to CFP channel. The definition of the adaptation time is indicated. (b) The adaptation time to 10 μmol/L L-aspartate for the wild-type (W.T.) strain (HCB1288-pVS88) and the Tar-only strain (HCB1414-pLC113-pVS88). The errors denote the standard deviations.

    Figure  2.  (a) The dose‒response measurement to L-aspartate. The blue line is the FRET signal. The red downward arrows denote the time when the stimulus was added, while the black upward arrows indicate the time when the stimulus was removed. The black and red dashed lines represent the pre-stimulus and saturated FRET values, respectively. (b) The dose‒response curve of relative kinase activity (relative to the pre-stimulus value) to the concentration of L-aspartate for both strains. The relative kinase activity was obtained by rescaling the FRET values of 1 (the pre-stimulus value, black dashed line in (a)) to 0.95 (the value after adding a saturated concentration of stimulus, red dashed line in (a)) to the range between 1 and 0. The blue and red lines are the results fitted with the MWC model for the wild-type and mutant strains, respectively. The gray lines indicate the values of relative kinase activity used in the step-response measurements. (c) The relation between adaptation time and relative kinase activity response. The errors denote standard deviations.

    Figure  3.  (a) The dose‒response curves of the Tar-only strain under 1 μmol/L (red dots, wild-type level) and 0.5 μmol/L (green diamonds) inducer (sodium salicylate). The smooth lines are the results fitted with the MWC model. (b) The relation between adaptation time and relative kinase activity response. The errors denote standard deviations.

    Figure  4.  (a) Schematic diagram of the bead assay for the flagellar motor. (b) A typical trace of the rotational speed (blue line) of individual motors. The positive and negative values of speed denote CCW and CW rotation, respectively. (c) The CW bias distribution for the wild-type and Tar-only trains. (d) The correlation times for both strains.

    Figure  5.  (a) Comparison of adaptation times between the wild-type (blue squares) and Tar-only strains (red dots) for all concentrations of L-aspartate. The errors denote standard deviations. (b) The change in mean position over time in a gradient of exponential MeAsp concentration profile L(x) = 91exp(x/5000). The blue dots represent the mean x position. The green squares denote the mean y position. The red line is the linear fit to the blue dots. (c) The effect of adaptation rate on bacterial chemotaxis. Blue and red dots represent the drift velocity in the x direction and the variance of the y positions under different values of kR. The value of kR ranges from 0.005 s−1 to 0.01 s−1 for the wild-type strain, which is marked by the green shaded area.
