Abstract excerpt
Translocation of many soluble proteins across cell membranes occurs in an ATPase-driven manner. For construction of the bacterial flagellum responsible for motility, most of the components are exported by the flagellar protein export apparatus. The FliI ATPase is required for this export, and its ATPase activity is regulated by FliH; however, it is unclear how the chemical energy derived from ATP hydrolysis is...
