Short Name | Flagellar_basal_body_rod_CS |
description | Many bacterial species swim actively by means of flagella. The flagellaorganelle is made of three parts: the basal body, the hook and the filament.The basal body consists of four rings (L,P,S, and M) mounted on a central rod [].In Salmonella typhimurium and related organisms the rod has been shown toconsist of four different, yet evolutionary related proteins: in the distalportion of the rod there are about 26 subunits of protein flgG and in theproximal portion there are about six subunits each of proteins flgB, flgC, andflgF.These four proteins contain a highly conservedasparagine-rich domain at their N terminus. |
