Abstract excerpt
The MotA and MotB proteins are thought to comprise elements of the stator component of the flagellar motor of Escherichia coli. In an effort to understand interactions among proteins within the motor, we attempted to identify extragenic suppressors of 31 dominant, plasmid-borne alleles of motA. Strains containing these mutations were either nonmotile or had severely impaired motility. Four of the mutants yielded...
