Structures of bacterial flagellar motors from two FliF-FliG gene fusion mutants.
Flagella purified from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium contain FliG, FliM, and FliN, cytoplasmic proteins that are important in torque generation and switching, and FliF, a transmembrane structural protein. The motor portion of the flagellum (the basal body complex) has a cytoplasmic C ring and a transmembrane M ring. Incubation of purified basal bodies at pH 4.5 removed FliM and FliN b...
متن کاملLocalization of the Salmonella typhimurium flagellar switch protein FliG to the cytoplasmic M-ring face of the basal body.
The direction of rotation of the bacterial flagellum is determined by the flagellar switch. We have localized FliG, one of the switch proteins of Salmonella typhimurium, to the cytoplasmic face of the M ring of the flagellar basal body. This localization was made possible by the discovery of two spontaneous mutants in which the fliF (M ring) and fliG (switch) genes were fused in-frame. In the f...
متن کاملA Regulatory Checkpoint during Flagellar Biogenesis in Campylobacter jejuni Initiates Signal Transduction To Activate Transcription of Flagellar Genes
UNLABELLED Many polarly flagellated bacteria require similar two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) and σ(54) to activate transcription of genes essential for flagellar motility. Herein, we discovered that in addition to the flagellar type III secretion system (T3SS), the Campylobacter jejuni flagellar MS ring and rotor are required to activate the FlgSR TCS. Mutants lacking the FliF MS ring a...
متن کاملRole of the cytoplasmic C terminus of the FliF motor protein in flagellar assembly and rotation.
Twenty-six FliF monomers assemble into the MS ring, a central motor component of the bacterial flagellum that anchors the structure in the inner membrane. Approximately 100 amino acids at the C terminus of FliF are exposed to the cytoplasm and, through the interaction with the FliG switch protein, a component of the flagellar C ring, are essential for the assembly of the motor. In this study, w...
متن کاملParsing with fLIF Neurons
This paper presents a natural language parsing system based solely on fatiguing Leaky Integrate and Fire neurons, a relatively faithful model of biological neurons. The parser implements cell assemblies, sequences, finite state automaton and a stack. The stack enables the system to parse context free grammars. The system uses variable binding to apply the rules, and implement the stack. A novel...
