Mechanisms of ion selectivity and rotor coupling in the bacterial flagellar sodium-driven stator unit

This study determines the structure of the Na+-driven bacterial flagellar stator unit PomAB, revealing mechanisms of ion selectivity, rotor coupling, and stator unit activation.

Structure and function of stator units of the bacterial flagellar motor

The paper presents cryo-EM structures of bacterial flagellar stator units in different states and proposes a mechanistic model for torque generation and direction switching.
