| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bacterial flagellar has a reversible rotary motor that can rotate in both counterclockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) direction. The switching of the motor rotation direction is controlled by the complex located at the bottom of the basal body called the C ring, constructed from switch proteins. To understand the switching mechanisms of motor rotation in detail, we analyzed the C ring structure of the wild type (CCW) and the CW- baias mutant by clectron cryomicroscopy. We obtained high-resolution density map of the C ring in the two states and built pseudo-atomic models of the C ring.
