The FlgN chaperone activates the Na+-driven engine of the Salmonella flagellar protein export apparatus

Minamino et al. report that the bacterial FlgN chaperone acts as a switch to activate a backup mechanism for H+-coupled flagellar protein export by interacting with FlhAC to activate the Na+-driven export engine. The proposed mechanism helps to explain how bacteria can maintain flagellar protein exp...
