Macromolecular structures such as the bacterial flagellum in Gram-negative bacteria must traverse the cell wall. Lytic transglycosylases are capable of enlarging gaps in the peptidoglycan meshwork to allow the efficient assembly of supramolecular complexes. We have previously shown that in Rhodobacter sphaeroides SltF, the flagellar muramidase, and FlgJ, a flagellar scaffold protein, are separate entities that interact in the periplasm. In this study we show that the export of SltF to the peripl ...[more]
