Cooperativity has a central place in biological regulation, providing robust and highly-sensitive regulation. The bacterial flagellar motor implements autonomous torque regulation based on the stator's dynamic structure; the stator units bind to and dissociate from the motor dynamically in response to environmental changes. However, the mechanism of this dynamic assembly is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate the cooperativity in the stator assembly dynamics. The binding is slow at the st ...[more]
