Abstract excerpt
Frameshift mutations in the fliK gene of Salmonella result in abnormal elongation of the hook and the failure to assemble filament (polyhook phenotype). Second-site suppressor mutations restore filament assembly, but the cells often remain defective in hook-length control (polyhook-filament pheno...
