Abstract excerpt
In torque generation by the bacterial flagellar motor, it has been suggested that electrostatic interactions between charged residues of MotA and FliG at the rotor-stator interface are important. However, the actual role(s) of those charged residues has not yet been clarified. In this study, we systematically made mutants of Vibrio alginolyticus whose charged residues of PomA (MotA homologue) and FliG were...
