The dCache shows a ubiquitous phylogenetic distribution and is abundantly present in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryota. It’s the predominant bacterial extracytosolic sensor domain and present in all major families of transmembrane receptors. Most characterized dCache mediate responses to diversely similar ligands, which were found to bind to the membrane-distal module. Although there’s also evidence that other dCache respond to multiple ligands, the information on the corresponding molecular mechanism is currently limited. We show here that the capacity to respond to multiple ligands is due to the utilization of both dCache modules. This work provides information on the forces that have led to the evolution of dCache domains and provides features that characterize receptors with narrow and broad ligand ranges. Bacteria have evolved multiple signal transduction systems that permit an adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Chemoreceptor-based signaling cascades are very abundant in bacteria and are among the most complex signaling systems. Currently, our knowledge on the molecular features that determine signal recognition at chemoreceptors is limited. Chemoreceptor McpA of Bacillus velezensis SQR9 has been shown to mediate chemotaxis to a broad range of different ligands. Here we show that its ligand binding domain binds directly 13 chemoattractants. We provide support that organic acids and amino acids bind to the membrane-distal and membrane-proximal module of the dCache domain, respectively, whereas binding of sugars/sugar alcohols occurred at both modules. Structural biology studies combined with site-directed mutagenesis experiments have permitted to identify 10 amino acid residues that play key roles in the recognition of multiple ligands. Residues in membrane-distal and membrane-proximal regions were central for sensing organic acids and amimo acids, respectively, whereas all residues participated in sugars/sugar alcohol sensing. Most characterized chemoreceptors possess a narrow and well-defined ligand spectrum. We propose here a sensing mechanism involving both dCache modules that allows the integration of very diverse signals by a single chemoreceptor.
