Protein Family Models

This family includes the C-terminal region of flagellar motor switch proteins FliN and FliM. It is associated with family FliM, Pfam:PF02154 and family FliN_N Pfam:PF16973. [1]. 1447979.

flagellar motor switch protein FliM is one of three proteins (FliG, FliN, FliM) that form the rotor-mounted switch complex (C ring) located at the base of the basal body

Members of this family are the flagellar motor switch protein FliM. The family excludes FliM homologs that lack an N-terminal region critical to interaction with phosphorylated CheY. One set lacking this N-terminal region is found in Rhizobium meliloti, in which the direction of flagellar rotation is not reversible (i.e. the FliM homolog does not act to reverse the motor direction), and in related species. Another is found in Buchnera, an obligate intracellular endosymbiont with genes for many of the components of the flagellar apparatus, but not, apparently, for flagellin iself.
