The Caulobacter crescentus flagellar filament is assembled from multiple flagellin proteins that are encoded by six genes. The amino acid sequences of the FljJ and FljL flagellins are divergent from those of the other four flagellins. Since these flagellins are the first to be assembled in the flagellar filament, one or both might have specialized to facilitate the initiation of filament assembly.
