Abstract: Clustering and positioning of chemotaxis-associated proteins are believed to be essential steps for their proper functioning. We investigate the robustness of these processes to sub-optimal temperatures by studying the size and location of clusters of Tsr-Venus proteins in live cells. We find that the degree of clustering of Tsr proteins is maximal under optimal temperature. The data further suggests that the weakening of the clustering process in lower-than and higher-than optimal temperatures is not due to the same cause. Meanwhile, the location of the clusters is found to be weakly temperature independent, within the range tested. We conclude that while the clustering of Tsr is heavily temperature dependent, the localization is only weakly dependent, suggesting that the functionality of the proteins responsible for retaining Tsr-clusters at the cell poles, such as the Tol-Pal complex, is robust to suboptimal temperatures.
