Analysis of the Movement of Chlamydomonas Flagella: The Function of the Radial-spoke System Is Revealed by Comparison of Wild-type and Mutant Flagella [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
The mutation uni-1 gives rise to uniflagellate Chlamydomonas cells which rotate around a fixed point in the microscope field, so that the flagellar bending pattern can be photographed easily .

Discovery of H2 Receptor Antagonists as Colistin Enhancers by Targeting Acid Stress Response

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies YqgB as a key target for restoring colistin susceptibility in mcr‐positive pathogens under acidic conditions by remodeling phospholipid composition and reducing LPS modification. Deep learning‐based screening reveals H2 receptor antagonists as novel colistin adjuvants. Further investigations indicate that ranitidine and famotidine

Homologous Recombination in Clostridioides difficile Mediates Diversification of Cell Surface Features and Transport Systems

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
Illness caused by the pathogen Clostridioides difficile is widespread and can range in severity from mild diarrhea to sepsis and death. Strains of C. difficile isolated from human infections exhibit great genetic diversity, leading to the hypothesis that

Modelling the Mechanics and Hydrodynamics of Swimming E. coli

open access: yes, 2015
The swimming properties of an E. coli-type model bacterium are investigated by mesoscale hy- drodynamic simulations, combining molecular dynamics simulations of the bacterium with the multiparticle particle collision dynamics method for the embedding ...

A Testis‐Specific Aralkylamine N‐Acetyltransferase Regulates Dimorphic Sperm Function and Male Fertility in Moths

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We identify a Lepidoptera‐conserved testis‐specific arylalkylamine N‐acetyltransferase (LTNAT) that governs male moth fertility via a novel mechanism. LTNAT loss disrupts eupyrene sperm mitochondrial derivatives and impairs apyrene sperm motility, offering a safe molecular target for innovative pesticides and genetic pest control.

Escherichia coli swimming is robust against variations in flagellar number

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Bacterial chemotaxis is a paradigm for how environmental signals modulate cellular behavior. Although the network underlying this process has been studied extensively, we do not yet have an end-to-end understanding of chemotaxis.

The Impact of Plasma Membrane Lipid Composition on Flagellum-Mediated Adhesion of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a major cause of foodborne gastrointestinal illness. The adhesion of EHEC to host tissues is the first step enabling bacterial colonization. Adhesins such as fimbriae and flagella mediate this process.

Depletion of the RNA‐Editing Enzyme ADAR1 Invigorates the Antitumor Immunity of NK Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ADAR1 is upregulated in NK cells from melanoma patients, impairing their function. Its loss enhances NK cell tumor infiltration and cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, ADAR1 deficiency destabilizes CD38 mRNA to reduce its expression, thereby increasing NK cell mobility and killing, which nominates it as a therapeutic target for NK cell ...

Flagellar assembly in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii regulated by intraflagellar transport protein IFT81

open access: yes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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
