FliS/flagellin/FliW heterotrimer couples type III secretion and flagellin homeostasis

Abstract Flagellin is amongst the most abundant proteins in flagellated bacterial species and constitutes the major building block of the flagellar filament. The proteins FliW and FliS serve in the post-transcriptional control of flagellin and guide the protein to the flagellar type III secretion sy...
