Abstract excerpt
The proton-driven flagellar motor of Salmonella enterica can accommodate a dozen MotA/B stators in a load-dependent manner. The C-terminal periplasmic domain of MotB acts as a structural switch to regulate the number of active stators in the motor in response to load change. The cytoplasmic loop termed MotAC is responsible for the interaction with a rotor protein, FliG. Here, to test if MotAC is responsible for...
