Abstract：
:The disordered arrangement of flagella biosynthetic genes, combined with a simplified regulatory mechanism, has made elucidating the process of Campylobacter jejuni flagellation difficult. FlhF is a recently identified element that controls the assembly of the flagella, although its function mechanism and regulatory preference are not well defined at present. In this study, we found that inactivation of FlhF caused the transcription of most flagella genes down-regulated. The importance of FlhF was systematically evaluated by analyzing changes in the transcription profiles between wild-type and flhF mutant strains, which showed that FlhF affects late flagella genes obviously. FlhF is constitutively expressed during C. jejuni growth, demonstrating that it is a class I flagella element that participates in early flagella assembly. In addition, the early flagella component FlhB was not localized to the cell pole in the flhF mutant. Thus, flagella assembly was impeded at the initial stage. We propose a model in which FlhF helps target the early flagella components to the cell pole, functioning prior to the formation of the flagella export apparatus, and thus places FlhF at the top of the flagella regulatory cascade hierarchy. Inactivation of FlhF impeded flagella assembly at the initial stage and decreased transcription of flagella genes through a feed-back control mechanism, leading to FlhF having a significant influence on the expression of late flagella components and resulting in the aflagellate C. jejuni phenotype. Our present study has uncovered how FlhF influences C. jejuni flagella biosynthesis, which will be helpful in understanding the C. jejuni flagella biosynthetic pathway and bacterial flagellation in general.
