Length of the flagellar hook and the capacity of the type III export apparatus.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 23 Mar 2001

Makishima S, Komoriya K, Yamaguchi S, Aizawa S I

Abstract excerpt

Length determination in biology generally uses molecular rulers. The hook, a part of the flagellum of motile bacteria, has an invariant length. Here, we examined hook length and found that it was determined not by molecular rulers but probably by the amount of subunit protein secreted by the flag...
