    Effect of the MotA(M206I) Mutation on Torque Generation and Stator Assembly in the Salmonella H+-Driven Flagellar Motor

    The bacterial flagellar motor is a rotary nanomachine driven by the electrochemical transmembrane potential (ion motive force). About 10 stators (MotA/MotB complexes) are docked around a rotor, and the stator recruitment depends on the load, ion motive force, and coupling ion flux. The MotA(M206I) mutation slows motor rotation and decreases the number of docked stators in Salmonella. We show that lowering the external pH...
