Description
FliO is an essential component of the flagellum-specific protein export apparatus
[2]. It is an integral membrane protein that acts as an assembly chaperone for the flagellar protein FliP (Pfam:PF00813). It is crucial, although not strictly required, for efficient FliP assembly and, thus flagellar assembly and function
[1].
