<i>In situ</i> structures of periplasmic flagella in <i>Borrelia</i> reveals conformational changes essential for flagellar rotation

2019-02-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The bacterial flagellar motor is a molecular machine that rotates the flagellar filament at high speed. Torque is generated by the stator-rotor interaction coupled to an ion flux through the torque-generating stator. Here, we employed cryo-electron tomography to visualize the intact flagellar motor in the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi . By analysis of the motor structures of wild-...
