A flagellum-specific chaperone facilitates assembly of the core type III export apparatus of the bacterial flagellum.

A flagellum-specific chaperone facilitates assembly of the core type III export apparatus of the bacterial flagellum.

Many bacteria move using a complex, self-assembling nanomachine, the bacterial flagellum. Biosynthesis of the flagellum depends on a flagellar-specific type III secretion system (T3SS), a protein export machine homologous to the export machinery of the virulence-associated injectisome. Six cytoplasm...
