Abstract excerpt
Flagellar gene expression is temporally regulated in response to the assembly state of the growing flagellum. The key mechanism for enforcing this temporal hierarchy in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is the sigma(28)-FlgM checkpoint, which couples the expression of the late flagellar (P(class3)) genes to the completion of the hook-basal body. This checkpoint is triggered when FlgM is secreted from the...
