The flagellar hook protein, FlgE, of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium is posttranscriptionally regulated in response to the stage of flagellar assembly.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the posttranscriptional regulation of flgE, a class 2 gene that encodes the hook subunit protein of the flagella. RNase protection assays demonstrated that the flgE gene was transcribed at comparable levels in numerous strains defective in known steps of flagellar assembly. However, Western analyses of these strains demonstrated substantial differences in FlgE protein levels. Although wild-type...
