Abstract excerpt
Salmonella FliI is the flagellar ATPase which converts the energy of ATP hydrolysis into the export of flagellar proteins. It forms a ring-shaped oligomer in the presence of ATP, its analogs, or phospholipids. The extreme N-terminal region of FliI has an unstable conformation and is responsible for the interaction with other components of the export apparatus and for regulation of the catalytic mechanism.
