Diverse high-torque bacterial flagellar motors assemble wider stator rings using a conserved protein scaffold.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 20160314 13
Although it is known that diverse bacterial flagellar motors produce different torques, the mechanism underlying torque variation is unknown. To understand this difference better, we combined genetic analyses with electron cryo-tomography subtomogram averaging to determine in situ structures of flagellar motors that produce different torques, from Campylobacter and Vibrio species. For the first time, to our knowledge, our results unambiguously locate the torque-generating stator complexes and sh ...[more]
