| Description | This entry represents the C-terminal region of Flagellar motor switch proteins FliN and FliM and similar proteins mainly found in bacteria. This domain seems to play a key role in flagellation [ ]. 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 [, ].Proteins of the surface presentation of antigen (SpoA) group are involved in a secretory pathway responsible for the surface presentation of invasion plasmid antigen needed for the entry of Salmonella and other species into mammalian cells [ , ].They could play a role in preserving the translocation competence of the IPA antigens and are required for secretion of the three IPA proteins []. |
