Flagellar membranes are rich in raft-forming phospholipids

Biology Open, 2015
The observation that the membranes of flagella are enriched in sterols and sphingolipids has led to the hypothesis that flagella might be enriched in raft-forming lipids.

A brief introduction to the model microswimmer {\it Chlamydomonas reinhardtii} [PDF]

, 2016
The unicellular biflagellate green alga {\it Chlamydomonas reinhardtii} has been an important model system in biology for decades, and in recent years it has started to attract growing attention also within the biophysics community.

Swarm behavior of self-propelled rods and swimming flagella [PDF]

, 2010
Systems of self-propelled particles are known for their tendency to aggregate and to display swarm behavior. We investigate two model systems, self-propelled rods interacting via volume exclusion, and sinusoidally-beating flagella embedded in a fluid ...

The Versatile Molecular Complex Component LC8 Promotes Several Distinct Steps of Flagellar Assembly [PDF]

, 2012
LC8 is present in various molecular complexes. However, its role in these complexes remains unclear. We discovered that although LC8 is a subunit of the radial spoke (RS) complex in Chlamydomonas flagella, it was undetectable in the RS precursor that is ...

The BBSome restricts entry of tagged carbonic anhydrase 6 into the cis-flagellum of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The two flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are of the same size and structure but display functional differences, which are critical for flagellar steering movements.

The Ancient and Evolved Mouse Sperm-Associated Antigen 6 Genes Have Different Biologic Functions In Vivo

Cells, 2022
Sperm-associated antigen 6 (SPAG6) is the mammalian orthologue of Chlamydomonas PF16, an axonemal central pair protein involved in flagellar motility. In mice, two Spag6 genes have been identified.

Motility of Different Gastric Helicobacter spp.

Microorganisms, 2023
Helicobacter spp., including the well-known human gastric pathogen H. pylori, can cause gastric diseases in humans and other mammals. They are Gram-negative bacteria that colonize the gastric epithelium and use their multiple flagella to move across the ...

Length-dependent disassembly maintains four different flagellar lengths in Giardia. [PDF]

, 2019
With eight flagella of four different lengths, the parasitic protist Giardia is an ideal model to evaluate flagellar assembly and length regulation. To determine how four different flagellar lengths are maintained, we used live-cell quantitative imaging ...

Functional exploration of heterotrimeric kinesin-II in IFT and ciliary length control in Chlamydomonas

eLife, 2020
Heterodimeric motor organization of kinesin-II is essential for its function in anterograde IFT in ciliogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism is not well understood.
