Biochemical analysis of GTPase FlhF which controls the number and position of flagellar formation in marine Vibrio.

Abstract excerpt

FlhF controls the number and position of the polar flagellar formation of Vibrio species. FlhF, is a paralog of FtsY, a GTPase acting in the Sec membrane transport system of bacteria, and localizes at the cell pole. Mutations in the conserved GTPase motif of FlhF lost polar localization capability and flagellar formation. Vibrio FlhF has not, until now, been purified as soluble protein. Here, we report that...
