Abstract:The bacterial flagellum is an organelle utilized by many Gram-negative bacteria to facilitate motility. The flagellum is composed of a several μm long, extracellular filament that is connected to a cytoplasmic rotor-stator complex via a periplasmic rod. Composed of ~20 structural proteins, ranging from a few subunits to several thousand building blocks, the flagellum is a paradigm of a complex macromolecular structure that utilizes a highly regulated assembly process. This process is governed by multiple check… Show more
