Abstract excerpt
Flagellar number in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is controlled by FleN, a putative ATP/GTP binding protein. Disruption of fleN results in multiflagellation of the otherwise monoflagellate strains PAK and PAO1 and is associated with a chemotactic defect. We propose that flagellar number is maintained by the antiactivator FleN, which downregulates flagellar genes by binding to their transcriptional activator, FleQ, an...
