Abstract excerpt
The flagellar hook is a short, curved, extracellular structure located between the basal body and the filament. The hook is composed of the FlgE protein. In this study, we analyzed flagellum assembly in a temperature-sensitive flgE mutant of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. When the mutant cells were grown at 30°C, they produced flagella of a normal length (71% of the population) and short hooks without...
