Abstract excerpt
More than 50 genes are required for flagellar formation and function in Salmonella typhimurium. According to the cascade model of flagellar regulon, the flagellar operons are divided into three classes, 1, 2, and 3, with respect to transcriptional hierarchy. FliA is an alternative sigma factor specific for transcription of the class 3 operons, while FlgM is an anti-sigma factor which binds to FliA and prevents...
