Domain-based biophysical characterization of structural and thermal stability of FliG in Na+-driven flagellar motor

Bacteria can swim by rotating their flagella. Interaction between the stator protein and the rotor protein makes the rotational driving force. FliG is the most important component of the rotor for the torque generation in the flagellar motor. Here, we purified FliG and its fragmants from Vibrio alginolyticus, which has a polar flagellum to characterize the biochemical/biophysical properties by gel-filtration chromatography, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results suggest that FliG has at least two conformational states and that each domain of FliG is responsible for the denaturation. These provide information on the basic characteristics of FliG.
