| UniProt functional annotation for P39739 | |||
| UniProt code: P39739. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Essential for filament assembly (PubMed:23144244). May act as a facilitator of flagellin (hag) secretion. Antagonizes translational repressor CsrA indirectly (PubMed:23144244). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23144244}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer (PubMed:23144244, PubMed:16021622). Interacts directly with flagellin (hag), forms a 3-way complex of Hag, FliS and FliW in which Flis and FliW do not directly interact (PubMed:23144244). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23144244, ECO:0000305|PubMed:16021622}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Severe defect in motility on agar plates, forms multiple short filament stubs on the cell surface, decreased expression of flagellin (hag), 30-fold decrease in Hag secretion. All phenotypes are partially suppressed by deletion of csrA, which increases translation of Hag (PubMed:23144244). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23144244}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the FliS family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
