Abstract excerpt
The marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus has four motor components, PomA, PomB, MotX, and MotY, responsible for its Na(+)-driven flagellar rotation. PomA and PomB are integral inner membrane proteins having four and one transmembrane segments (TMs), respectively, which are thought to form an ion channel complex. First, site-directed Cys mutagenesis was systematically performed from Asp-24 to Glu-41 of PomB, and...
