Three potential regulators of flagellar expression present in the
genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168, the genes rpoN, flgR, and
fliA, which encode the alternative sigma factor
54, the
54-associated transcriptional
activator FlgR, and the flagellar sigma factor
28,
respectively, were investigated for their role in global regulation of
flagellar expression. The three genes were insertionally inactivated in
C. jejuni strains NCTC 11168 and NCTC 11828. Electron
microscopic studies of the wild-type and mutant strains showed that the
rpoN and flgR mutants were nonflagellate
and that the fliA mutant had truncated flagella.
Immunoblotting experiments with the three mutants confirmed the roles
of rpoN, flgR, and fliA in
the expression of flagellin.
