mBio, 2019 Most chemotactic motile bacteria possess multiple chemotaxis signaling systems, the functions of which are not well characterized. Chemotaxis signaling is initiated by chemoreceptors that assemble as large arrays, together with chemotaxis coupling ...

Sperm chemotaxis in marine invertebrates and mammals
Reproductive and Developmental Medicine, 2017 Sperm respond to multiple chemical factors derived from the eggs and reorient their migratory direction – a process called chemotaxis. The chemotaxis of sperm in marine invertebrates has been established well.

TRPM2 ion channels steer neutrophils towards a source of hydrogen peroxide
Scientific Reports, 2021 Neutrophils must navigate accurately towards pathogens in order to destroy invaders and thus defend our bodies against infection. Here we show that hydrogen peroxide, a potent neutrophil chemoattractant, guides chemotaxis by activating calcium-permeable ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-induced monocyte chemotaxis is a major event in inflammatory disease. Our prior studies have demonstrated that MCP-1-dependent chemotaxis requires release of arachidonic acid (AA) by activated cytosolic ...

A new class of protein sensor links spirochete pleomorphism, persistence, and chemotaxis
mBio, 2023 Pathogenic spirochetes can alter their morphologies and behaviors to infect and survive within their hosts. Previous reports demonstrate that the formation of the so-called “round bodies” and biofilms, and chemotaxis are involved in spirochete ...

The Novel Protein Cj0371 Inhibits Chemotaxis of Campylobacter jejuni
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 cj0371 is a novel gene that is associated with Campylobacter jejuni virulence, and an isogenic mutant of cj0371 showed hyper chemotaxis and motility. Chemotactic motility is an important virulence factor and is involved in C.

A minimal model of metabolism-based chemotaxis. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Since the pioneering work by Julius Adler in the 1960's, bacterial chemotaxis has been predominantly studied as metabolism-independent. All available simulation models of bacterial chemotaxis endorse this assumption.
