Abstract
We have identified two new open reading frames downstream from fliC, w hich appear to encode 19- and 20-kDa proteins that are essential for f lagellar formation. The nucleotide and the predicted amino acid sequen ces 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-compo nent biosynthesis.
