Abstract excerpt
Electrostatic interactions between the stator protein MotA and the rotor protein FliG are important for bacterial flagellar motor rotation. Arg90 and Glu98 of MotA are required not only for torque generation but also for stator assembly around the rotor, but their actual roles remain unknown. Here we analyzed the roles of functionally important charged residues at the MotA-FliG interface in motor performance....
