Leptospira interrogans
, the cause of the zoonotic infection leptospirosis, is found in soil and water contaminated with animal urine.
L. interrogans
survives in complex environments with the aid of 12 chemoreceptors, none of which has been explicitly studied. In this study, we characterized the first
L. interrogans
chemoreceptor,
Li
Aer2, and reported its unique characteristics.
Li
Aer2 is membrane-bound, has three cytoplasmic PAS-heme domains that each bound hexacoordinate
b
