Regulatory Role of a Hydrophobic Core in the FliG C-Terminal Domain in the Rotary Direction of a Flagellar Motor
A flagellar motor can rotate either counterclockwise (CCW) or clockwise (CW), and here rotational switching is triggered by conformational changes in FliG, although the molecular mechanism is still unknown.Here, we found that cheY deletion, which locks motor rotation in the CCW direction, restored the motility abolished by the fliG L259Q mutation.W
