Molecular Basis of the Interaction between the Flagellar Export Proteins FliI and FliH from Helicobacter pylori
31 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial flagellar protein export requires an ATPase, FliI, and presumptive inhibitor, FliH. We have explored the molecular basis for FliI/FliH interaction in the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. By using bioinformatic and biochemical analyses, we showed that residues 1-18 of FliI very likely form an amphipathic alpha-helix upon interaction with FliH, and that residues 21-91 of FliI resemble the...
