Molecular and structural innovations of the stator motor complex at the dawn of flagellar motility

2024-07-23

Abstract excerpt

The rotation of the bacterial flagellum is powered by the MotAB stator complex, which converts ion flux into torque. The origin and evolution of this remarkable complex is understudied. Here, we perform the first phylogenetic and structural characterisation and classification of MotAB and nonflagellar relatives. Using 193 genomes sampled across 27 bacterial phyla, we estimated phylogenies and ancestral sequences,...
