How Bacteria Assemble Flagella
Abstract
▪ Abstract The bacterial flagellum is both a motor organelle and a protein export/assembly apparatus. It extends from the cytoplasm to the cell exterior. All the protein subunits of the external elements have to be exported. Export employs a type III pathway, also utilized for secretion of virulence factors. Six of the components of the export apparatus are integral membrane proteins and are believed to be located within the flagellar basal body. Three others are soluble: the ATPase that drives export, a regulator of the ATPase, and a general chaperone. Exported substrates diffuse down a narrow channel in the growing structure and assemble at the distal end, often with the help of a capping structure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
