Protein Domain : Flagellar biosynthesis protein, FliO IPR022781

Type	Family
Description	FliO is an essential component of the flagellum-specific protein export apparatus [ ]. It is an integral membrane protein that acts as an assembly chaperone for the flagellar protein FliP. It is crucial, although not strictly required, for efficient FliP assembly and, thus flagellar assembly and function []. FliO is a short protein found in flagellar biosynthesis operons, and which contains a highly hydrophobic N-terminal sequence followed generally by two basic amino acids. This region is reminiscent of but distinct from the twin-arginine translocation signal sequence. Some instances of this gene have been named "FliZ"but phylogenetic tree building supports a single FliO family.
