Abstract

The dynamic exchange of motor proteins in a functioning 45-nm rotary complex was observed in vivo and GFP–MotB stator proteins visualized in individual bacterial flagellar motors. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching reveals that the ∼22 MotB motor proteins exchange rapidly with a pool of free protein while the motor is actively rotating.
