Abstract excerpt
During flagellar morphogenesis in Salmonella typhimurium, the genes involved in filament assembly are expressed fully only after completion of hook-basal body assembly. This coupling of gene expression to morphogenesis is achieved by exporting the flagellum-specific anti-sigma factor, FlgM, out of the cell through the mature hook-basal body structure. Therefore, the flagellum-specific export apparatus must be...
