Assembly of the Mot protein complex into the Escherichia coli flagellar motor
The MotA and MotB proteins of E. coli form a MotA4MotB2 complex. Proton flow through a transmembrane channel in the complex powers flagellar rotation. Protonation of Asp-32 of MotB within the channel is proposed to cause a conformational change in the large cytoplasmic loop of MotA, which pushes aga...
