Functional narrative    

It is hypothesized that FlgM functions similarly in A. aeolicus as it does in a different organism: Salmonella typhimurium. In S. typhimurium, FlgM functions as a negative regulator of flagella and chemotaxis genes. The FlgM protein binds to the σ28 protein, inhibiting transcription of Class 3 (or late-stage) genes until the basal body-hook body structure that forms the base of the flagella is properly assembled. Once the basal body-hook body structure is properly assembled, FlgM is exported from the cell allowing σ28 to initiate transcription of the Class 3 genes. (Molloy)

Comments


PDB structures (x-ray crystallography) are from Sorensen et al (2004), and show anti-sigma factor FlgM in complex with flagellar sigma-28. Circular dichroism and fluorescent probe experiments were performed by Molloy et al (2010).



The Sorensen et al (2004) cyrstallography was produced at 277K, a non-physiological temperature for this thermophilic organism. Molloy et al (2010) included CD experiments at 358K (approximating the physiological temperature) that showed more disordered-extended conformation than Sorensen, but still retained substantial residual alpha-helical character.
