Abstract excerpt
FliG is an essential component of the flagellar motor and functions in flagellar assembly, torque generation and regulation of the direction of flagellar rotation. The five charged residues important for the rotation of the flagellar motor were identified in Escherichiacoli FliG (FliG(E)). These residues are clustered in the C terminus and are all conserved in FliG(V) of the Na(+)-driven motor of...
