Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein. Note that the 'protein existence' evidence does not give information on the accuracy or correctness of the sequence(s) displayed.<p><a href='/help/protein_existence' target='_top'>More...</a></p>

<p>This section provides any useful information about the protein, mostly biological knowledge.<p><a href='/help/function_section' target='_top'>More...</a></p>Functioni

MotA and MotB comprise the stator element of the flagellar motor complex. Required for rotation of the flagellar motor. Probable transmembrane proton channel. Overexpression of MotA, with or without MotB, restores motility in a pdeH disruption, (a c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase) suggesting there is an interaction (direct or indirect) between the c-di-GMP-binding flagellar brake protein YcgR and the flagellar stator.

Each stator complex is composed of 4 MotA and 2 MotB subunits; in E.coli 11 to 12 stator complexes can be involved in flagellar rotation. 2 A subunits and 1 B subunit are thought to form a single ion channel, so that each stator complex contains two channels.

Interacts with FliG.

Interacts with flagellar brake protein YcgR in the flagellar basal bodies (PubMed:20303158). In another study (PubMed:20346719) YcgR was not seen to interact with MotA, but instead with FliM and FliG, also in the flagellar basal body.

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:i355DC13EF63DD7D8
