FcpB Is a Surface Filament Protein of the Endoflagellum Required for the Motility of the Spirochete Leptospira

The spirochete endoflagellum is a unique motility apparatus among bacteria. Despite its critical importance for pathogenesis, the full composition of the flagellum remains to be determined. We have recently reported that FcpA is a novel flagellar protein and a major component of the sheath of the fi...
