Flagellar assembly in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii regulated by intraflagellar transport protein IFT81

工程科学学报, 2015
A Chlamydomonas reinhardtii immobile mutant named ift81 was screened by insertional mutagenesis. The mutant was bald or with two short flagella. Gene sequencing confirmed that fifty-two base pairs in the fifth extron of IFT81 gene were replaced by the ...

Experimental evolution of Vibrio cholerae identifies hypervesiculation as a way to increase motility in the presence of polymyxin B

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Vibrio cholerae includes strains responsible for the cholera disease and is a natural inhabitant of aquatic environments. V. cholerae possesses a unique polar flagellum essential for motility, adhesion, and biofilm formation.

Clostridium difficile flagella induce a pro-inflammatory response in intestinal epithelium of mice in cooperation with toxins

Scientific Reports, 2017
Clostridium difficile is the most important enteropathogen involved in gut nosocomial post-antibiotic infections. The emergence of hypervirulent strains has contributed to increased mortality and morbidity of CDI. The C.

Bordetella pertussis Can Be Motile and Express Flagellum-Like Structures

mBio, 2019
Bordetella bronchiseptica encodes and expresses a flagellar apparatus. In contrast, Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, has historically been described as a nonmotile and nonflagellated organism.

Interaction between the flagellum of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus and the vitellogenin-like protein of Diaphorina citri significantly influences CLas titer

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a global devastating citrus disease that is mainly caused by “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (CLas). It is mostly transmitted by the insect Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri) in a persistent and proliferative manner ...

Length regulation of multiple flagella that self-assemble from a shared pool of components

eLife, 2019
The single-celled green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with its two flagella—microtubule-based structures of equal and constant lengths—is the canonical model organism for studying size control of organelles.

Swimming ability and flagellar motility of sperm packets of the volvocine green alga Pleodorina starrii.

PLoS ONE
Eukaryotic flagella collectively form metachronal waves that facilitate the ability to cause flow or swim. Among such flagellated and planktonic swimmers, large volvocine genera such as Eudorina, Pleodorina and Volvox form bundles of small male gametes ...

TTC26/DYF13 is an intraflagellar transport protein required for transport of motility-related proteins into flagella

eLife, 2014
Cilia/flagella are assembled and maintained by the process of intraflagellar transport (IFT), a highly conserved mechanism involving more than 20 IFT proteins. However, the functions of individual IFT proteins are mostly unclear.
