Stator Dynamics Depending on Sodium Concentration in Sodium-Driven Bacterial Flagellar Motors

Bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is a large membrane-spanning molecular rotary machine for swimming motility. Torque is generated by the interaction between the rotor and multiple stator units powered by ion-motive force (IMF). The number of bound stator units is dynamically changed in response to th...

description Bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is a large membrane-spanning molecular rotary machine for swimming motility. Torque is generated by the interaction between the rotor and multiple stator units powered by ion-motive force (IMF).

Upon rapid exchange from high to low sodium concentration, the number of functional stator units shows a rapidly excessive reduction and then resurrection that is different from predictions of simple absorption model.
