InterPro: IPR000423 Flagellar protein FlgJ type-1

The flgH, flgI and fliF genes of Salmonella typhimurium encode the major proteins for the L, P and M rings of the flagellar basal body [1]. The sequences of these and of the flgJ gene have been determined, and the amino acid sequences of their products deduced [1]. The flgJ gene, lies immediately adjacent to flgI and is the last gene of the flgB operon. It encodes a flagellar protein involved in hydrolysis of peptidoglycan 2, whose deduced sequence is hydrophilic, and may correspond to a cytoplasmic protein [1]. Several aspects of the DNA sequence of these genes and their surrounds suggest complex regulation of the flagellar gene system [1].
