| Description | The flagellar motor switch in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium regulates the direction of flagellar rotation and hence controls swimming behaviour. The switch is a complexapparatus that responds to signals transduced by the chemotaxis sensory signalling system during chemotactic behaviour []. Theswitch complex comprises at least three proteins - FliG, FliM and FliN. It has been shown that FliG interacts with FliM, FliM interacts with itself, and FliM interacts withFliN [ ]. The proteinsare not particularly hydrophobic and may be peripheral to the membrane, possibly mounted on the basal body M ring [, ].This entry represents the flagellar motor switch protein FliN. Longer proteins in which this region is a C-terminal domain typically are designated FliY. |
