Abstract excerpt
The rotation of the Na+-driven flagellar motor is specifically and strongly inhibited by phenamil, an amiloride analog. Here, we provide the first evidence that phenamil interacts directly with the Na+-channel components (PomA and PomB) of the motor. The alterations in Mpar (motility resistant to phenamil) strains were mapped to the pomA and/or pomB genes. We cloned and sequenced pomA and pomB from two Mpar...
