Structural effects of mutations in Salmonella typhimurium flagellar switch complex.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in Salmonella typhimurium fliG, fliM and fliN give rise either to non-flagellate, non-motile or non-chemotactic mutant bacteria. The FliG, FliM and FliN proteins form part of recently characterized extended flagellar basal structures, and have been postulated to form a mutually interacting structural complex. We have examined basal body preparations from non-motile or non-chemotactic fliG, fliM and fliN...
