Torque generation in the flagellar motor of Escherichia coli: evidence of a direct role for FliG but not for FliM or FliN.

Abstract excerpt

Among the many proteins needed for assembly and function of bacterial flagella, FliG, FliM, and FliN have attracted special attention because mutant phenotypes suggest that they are needed not only for flagellar assembly but also for torque generation and for controlling the direction of motor rotation. A role for these proteins in torque generation is suggested by the existence of mutations in each of them that...
