In bacterial chemotaxis, clustered transmembrane receptors and the adaptor protein Che W regulate the kinase CheA. Receptors outnumber CheA, yet it is poorly understood how interactions among receptors contribute to regulation. To address this problem, receptor clusters were simulated using liposomes decorated with the cytoplasmic domains of receptors, which supported CheA binding and stimulation. Competitive and cooperative interactions were revealed through the use of known receptor signaling mutants, which were used in mixtures with the wild type domain. Competitive effects among the receptor domains sorted cleanly into two categories defined by either stronger or weaker interactions with CheA. Cooperative effects were also evident in CheA binding and activity. In the transition from the stimulating to the inhibiting states, both the cooperativity of the transition and the persistence of stimulation by the wild type domain increased with receptor modification, as in the intact receptor. We conclude that competitive and cooperative receptor interactions both contribute to CheA regulation and that liposome-mediated assembly is effective in addressing these general membrane phenomena.
