Abstract excerpt
The bacterial flagellar motor is a rotary motor complex composed of various proteins. The motor contains a central rod, multiple ring-like structures and stators. The Na+-driven polar flagellar motor of the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus has a specific ring, called the ‘T-ring’, which consists of two periplasmic proteins, MotX and MotY. The T-ring is essential for assembly of the torque-generating unit,...
