Control of speed modulation (chemokinesis) in the unidirectional rotary motor of Sinorhizobium meliloti.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 2005

Attmannspacher Ursula, Scharf Birgit, Schmitt Rüdiger

Abstract excerpt

Swimming cells of Sinorhizobium meliloti are driven by flagella that rotate only clockwise. They can modulate rotary speed (achieve chemokinesis) and reorient the swimming path by slowing flagellar rotation. The flagellar motor is energized by proton motive force, and torque is generated by electrostatic interactions at the rotor/stator (FliG/MotA-MotB) interface. Like the Escherichia coli flagellar motor that...
