The FlhA linker mediates flagellar protein export switching during flagellar assembly

Inoue and Kinoshita et al. report an important role for the flexible linker of the major flagellar export apparatus protein FlhA (FlhAL) in regulating the switch from secretion of hook-type to filament-type components. The data presented here improve our understanding of the complex process of bacte...
