This study investigates the role of the flexible linker and plug region of PomB in the activation of the sodium-driven flagellar motor stator complex in Vibrio, showing that these regions are important for regulation but not essential for motor function.

This study constructs a FliF-FliG fusion protein that enables MS-ring formation in E. coli, revealing its role in flagellar motor assembly and force generation.

This study investigates FlaK's role in regulating flagellar gene expression in Vibrio alginolyticus through mutational analysis and biochemical assays, revealing its ATPase activity and interactions with FlhG.

This study investigates the function of the cytosolic interface helix in Vibrio PomA, showing its role in stator complex stability and ion conduction.

This study shows ZomB is essential for clockwise rotation of the flagellar motor in Vibrio alginolyticus, working with CheY to control rotational direction.

This study uses cryo-electron tomography to show that the C-ring of Vibrio alginolyticus undergoes structural remodeling during rotational switching.

This study identifies the H-ring as a novel structure facilitating outer membrane penetration and flagellar assembly in Vibrio alginolyticus using cryo-electron tomography.
