| Name | flagellar motor stator complex |
| Type | SYSTEM |
| Description | The MotAB complex functions as the stator producing torque in the mobile flagellar rotor complex. The stator changes conformation in response to the passage of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane. This complex is also necessarily a force-generating proton transporter. The stator complex contains MotA and MotB subunits in a 4:2 ratio and several stators are associated with each motor, each generating torque independently. |
