A positive charge region of Salmonella FliI is required for ATPase formation and efficient flagellar protein export

Kinoshita, Namba and Minamino show that a cluster of positively-charged arginines in the Salmonella FliI is necessary for formation of the FliI homo-hexamer ATPase. Through loss- and gain-of-function experiments, they demonstrate that hexamer assembly is also responsible for efficient export of flag...
