Abstract

The bacterial flagellum consists of three major parts: the basal body (including the rod), the hook, and the filament. Outer components of the flagellum are transported to the assembly site by a specialised type III export apparatus, which is related to the type III secretion system (T3SS). FliJ is a soluble regulatory component of the flagellar export apparatus [ 1 ]. The function of FliJ is not clear.


1. Soluble components of the flagellar export apparatus, FliI, FliJ, and FliH, do not deliver flagellin, the major filament protein, from the cytosol to the export gate. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1843, 2414-23
