SwmB: a 1.12 MDa protein that is required for non-flagellar swimming motility in Synechococcus

Marine Biology Research Division, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0202

	Abstract

SwmB is required for swimming motility in Synechococcus sp. strain WH8102. This highly repetitive 1.12 megadalton polypeptide is associated with the cell surface where it is arranged in a punctate manner. Inactivation of swmB does not affect the localization of SwmA, an S-layer protein also required for swimming.
