FliO

• PFAM accession number: PF04347
• Interpro abstract (IPR022781):

  FliO is an essential component of the flagellum-specific protein export apparatus [ (PUBMED:10049367) ]. It is an integral membrane protein. Its precise molecular function is unknown. FliO is a short protein found in flagellar biosynthesis operons, and which contains a highly hydrophobic N-terminal sequence followed generally by two basic amino acids. This region is reminiscent of but distinct from the twin-arginine translocation signal sequence. Some instances of this gene have been names "FliZ" but phylogenetic tree building supports a single FliO family.

• GO process: bacterial-type flagellum organization (GO:0044781)
