The flagellar motor/switch complex, consisting of the three proteins FliG, FliM, and FliN, plays a central role in bacterial motility and chemotaxis. We have analyzed FliG, using 10-amino-acid deletio
The multi-host pathogen Rhodococcus equi is a parasite of macrophages preventing maturation of the phagolysosome, thus creating a hospitable environment supporting intracellular growth. Virulent R. eq
These are H_pylori cells that are lacking FliP protein. In these cells, FliF protein was knocked out . to examine its relation to the hat-like complex.
