Together with FliI and FliH, may constitute the export apparatus of flagellin. Publication Abstract from PubMed Bacteria use a type III protein export apparatus for construction of the flagellum, which consists of the basal body, the hook, and the filament. FlhA forms a homo-nonamer through its C-terminal cytoplasmic domains (FlhAC) and ensures the strict order of flagellar assembly. FlhAC goes through dynamic domain motions during protein export, but it remains unknown how it occurs. Here, we report that the FlhA(G368C) mutation biases FlhAC toward a closed form, thereby reducing the binding affinity of FlhAC for flagellar export chaperones in complex with their cognate filament-type substrates. The G368C mutations also restrict the conformational flexibility of a linker region of FlhA (FlhAL), suppressing FlhAC ring formation. We propose that interactions of FlhAL with its neighboring subunit converts FlhAC in the ring from a closed conformation to an open one, allowing the chaperon/substrate complexes to bind to the FlhAC ring to form the filament at the hook tip.
