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 o...
