Cloning and sequencing of two new fli genes, the products of which are essential for Salmonella flagellar biosynthesis.
We have identified two new open reading frames downstream from fliC, which appear to encode 19- and 20-kDa proteins that are essential for flagellar formation. The nucleotide and the predicted amino acid sequences of the genes are presented. Both genes, termed fliU and fliV, are preceded by the flagellar-specific -10 consensus promoter DNA sequence, suggesting their expression in the earlier stages of flagellar-component biosynthesis.
