A torque-balance model shows that stator forces can couple FliG subunits globally, producing non-equilibrium ultrasensitive switching whose Hill coefficient grows with stator number.
If this prediction is correct, it would have major implications for current models of bacterial chemotaxis

Ultrasensitivity without conformational spread: A mechanical origin for non-equilibrium cooperativity in the bacterial flagellar motor
