Protein
Flagellar motor switch protein FliN
Organism
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain ATCC 15692 / DSM 22644 / CIP 104116 / JCM 14847 / LMG 12228 / 1C / PRS 101 / PAO1)
Function
FliN is one of three proteins (FliG, FliN, FliM) that form the rotor-mounted switch complex (C ring), located at the base of the basal body. This complex interacts with the CheY and CheZ chemotaxis proteins, in addition to contacting components of the motor that determine the direction of flagellar rotation (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the FliN/MopA/SpaO family.
