Two residues predominantly dictate functional difference in motility between Shewanella oneidensis flagellins FlaA and FlaB.

Abstract excerpt

Nearly half of flagellated microorganisms possess a multiple-flagellin system. Although a functional filament can be formed from one of multiple flagellins alone in many bacteria, it is more common that one flagellin is the major constituent and others contribute. Underlying mechanisms proposed for such scenarios cover flagellin regulation of various levels, including transcription, translation,...
