Abstract excerpt
P ring is a periplasmic substructure of the flagellar basal body and is believed to connect with the peptidoglycan layer in Salmonella. Two flagellar genes, flgA and flgI, are known to be indispensable for P ring formation. The flgI gene encodes the component protein of the P ring. However, the role of the flgA gene product in P ring assembly remained unknown. Here, evidence is presented that FlgA is synthesized...
