Superfamily: Flagellar motor switch protein FliG, alpha-alpha superhelical domain

This superfamily represents an alpha-alpha superhelical domain found in the flagellar motor switch protein FliG. The flagellar motor switch regulates the direction of flagellar rotation and swimming behaviour in certain bacteria PMID:8224881. The switch is a complex apparatus that responds to signals transduced by the chemotaxis sensory signalling system during chemotactic behaviour. CheY, the chemotaxis response regulator, is believed to act directly on the switch to induce tumbles in the swimming pattern PMID:12736245.
