Abstract excerpt
A flagellar motor can rotate either counterclockwise (CCW) or clockwise (CW), and rotational switching is triggered by conformational changes in FliG, although the molecular mechanism is still unknown. Here, we found that cheY deletion, which locks motor rotation in the CCW direction, restored the motility abolished by the fliG L259Q mutation. We found that the CCW-biased fliG G214S mutation also restored the...
