    These signals are a clear indication to the bacteria that they are no longer free in the environment, but in the gut. [citation needed] As a result, QseC phosphorylates QseB (which activates flagella), KpdE (which activates the LEE) and QseF. QseE phosphorylates QseF. The products QseBC and QseEF repress the expression of FusK and FusR.
