bacterial-type flagellum basal body, C ring

id: GO:0009433
name: bacterial-type flagellum basal body, C ring
namespace: cellular_component
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Cytoplasmic ring located at the base of the flagellar basal body; acts as a rotor; includes three switch proteins, which generate torque and can change their conformational state in a bimodal fashion, so that the motor direction can switch between clockwise and counterclockwise. Examples of this component are found in bacteria.
