Substrate-specific export chaperones mediating bacterial flagellum assembly

During flagellum assembly by motile enterobacteria, the highly helical flagellar proteins destined for polymerization into the growing cell surface structure are exported through a small channel at the core of the flagellum, but the mechanism preventing their premature folding and oligomerization in...
