Abstract excerpt
The first flagellar assembly checkpoint of Caulobacter crescentus couples assembly of the early class II components of the basal body complex to the expression of class III and IV genes, which encode extracytoplasmic structures of the flagellum. The transcription of class III/IV flagellar genes is activated by the response regulator factor, FlbD. Gain of function mutations in flbD, termed bfa, can bypass the...
