Serine 26 in the PomB subunit of the flagellar motor is essential for hypermotility of Vibrio cholerae.

Vibrio cholerae is motile by means of its single polar flagellum which is driven by the sodium-motive force. In the motor driving rotation of the flagellar filament, a stator complex consisting of subunits PomA and PomB converts the electrochemical sodium ion gradient into torque. Charged or polar r...
