Successive incorporation of force-generating units in the bacterial rotary motor.

Abstract excerpt

Mot mutants of Escherichia coli are paralysed: their flagella appear to be intact but do not rotate. The motA and motB gene products are found in the cytoplasmic membrane; they do not co-purify with flagellar basal bodies isolated in neutral detergents. Silverman et al. found that mot mutants could be ' resurrected ' through protein synthesis directed by lambda transducing phages carrying the wild-type genes....
