| pubmed-article:15361076 | pubmed:abstractText | Helicobacter pylori motility is essential for the colonization and persistence in the human gastric mucosa. So far, more than 50 genes have been described to play a role in flagellar biosynthesis. H. pylori YlxH (HP1034) is annotated as an ATP-binding protein. However, H. pylori YlxH shows similarity to proteins involved in the flagellar biosynthesis of other bacterial species. Moreover, H. pylori ylxH is found adjacent to genes involved in flagellar biosynthesis in the sequenced genomes of H. pylori 26695 and J99. We therefore aimed to determine the role of YlxH in H. pylori motility. | lld:pubmed |
