 | Hughes, Kelly T.; Chevance, Fabienne | Mechanism of outer membrane penetration by the eubacterial flagellum and implications for spirochete evolution | The rod component of the bacterial flagellum polymerizes from the inner membrane across the periplasmic space and stops at a length of 25 nm at the outer membrane. Bushing structures, the P- and L-rings, polymerize around the distal rod and form a pore in the outer membrane. The flagellar hook stru... | Flagellar assembly; Spirochete evolution; Membrane penetration | 2007 |
