Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli the flagellar regulon consists of more than 60 genes organized in three hierarchically and temporally regulated transcriptional classes. The flagellar sigma factor FliA (sigma(28)) is responsible for class 3 expression and, in the early phase of flagellar assembly, is inhibited by its anti-sigma factor FlgM. The flagellar hook basal body forms a type III secretion system capable of secreting...
