Disease relevance of fliI

  • The V. parahaemolyticus polar flaC flagellin gene was poorly expressed in Escherichia coli Production of FlaC was stimulated by provision of the flaA locus in trans [1].
 

High impact information on fliI

  • Two copies of the flagellin gene were identified: genes fla A and fla B consisted of 1731 base pairs each, occurred as tandem repeats, and were 95% identical [2].
  • We conclude that the amino acids M23, W151, G257, A295 and G377 of the E. coli lactose carrier play either a direct or an indirect role in sugar recognition and accumulation [3].
  • Interestingly, a previously isolated flagellar mutant (fliI) that expresses, but does not assemble, flagellin did not replicate in macrophages, and induced macrophage death [4].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of fliI

  • Site-directed mutagenesis of conserved amino acids of transmembrane helix VIII indicated that residues N373, G377, S382, and R389 are functionally important [5].
