flhA

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term	Evidence	Action	Reason
GO:0005886 plasma membrane	IEA GO_REF:0000120	ACCEPT	Summary: FlhA is a multipass component of the cytoplasmic membrane export gate. Reason: The specific membrane localization is consistent with the conserved FlhA architecture.
GO:0009306 protein secretion	IEA GO_REF:0000002	MODIFY	Summary: FlhA participates in export of flagellar assembly substrates. Reason: GO:0030254 specifically captures secretion through the type III export apparatus in which FlhA acts. Proposed replacements: protein secretion by the type III secretion system Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/flhA/flhA-deep-research-openscientist.md FlhA is therefore not a peripheral accessory but one of six integral-membrane proteins that build the transmembrane secretion channel.
GO:0016020 membrane	IEA GO_REF:0000002	KEEP AS NON CORE	Summary: FlhA is membrane embedded, but plasma membrane is already annotated more specifically. Reason: Correct but redundant with the more informative plasma-membrane annotation.
GO:0044780 bacterial-type flagellum assembly	IEA GO_REF:0000120	ACCEPT	Summary: Flagellar substrate export through the FlhA-containing gate is required for assembly. Reason: This is the core biological process supported by conserved FlhA function.
