Abstract
The methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) are concentrated at the cel l poles in an evolutionarily diverse panel of bacteria and an archeon. In e longated cells, the MCPs are located both at the poles and at regions along the length of the cells. Together, these results suggest that MCP location is evolutionarily conserved.
