This study reveals how asymmetric FlaA sheath assembly in Borreliella burgdorferi flagella influences morphology and motility through structural and genetic analyses.

The paper identifies a molecular clutch mechanism in Borrelia burgdorferi flagellar motors that controls stator engagement and torque generation through distinct conformational states.

This study determines the asymmetric structure of Treponema denticola flagella and shows how it enables efficient motility.
