| UniProt functional annotation for Q9WZE6 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9WZE6. |
| Organism: | Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099 / NBRC 100826 / MSB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga. | |
| Function: | FliM is one of three proteins (FliG, FliN, FliM) that forms the rotor-mounted switch complex (C ring), located at the base of the basal body. This complex interacts with the CheY and CheX chemotaxis proteins, in addition to contacting components of the motor that determine the direction of flagellar rotation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts (via N-terminus) with unphosphorylated CheY. Interacts (via central domain) with FliG (via central domain or via central domain and C-terminus). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16882724, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21673656, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22896702}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Bacterial flagellum basal body {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P06974}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the FliM family. {ECO:0000255}. | |
