Abstract excerpt
The flagellar protein export apparatus switches substrate specificity from hook-type to filament-type upon hook assembly completion, thereby initiating filament assembly at the hook tip. The C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of FlhA (FlhAC) serves as a docking platform for flagellar chaperones in complex with their cognate filament-type substrates. Interactions of the flexible linker of FlhA (FlhAL) with its nearest...
