Modelling bacterial flagellar growth [PDF]
Europhys. Lett., 96 (2011) 28001, 2012 The growth of bacterial flagellar filaments is a self-assembly process where flagellin molecules are transported through the narrow core of the flagellum and are added at the distal end. To model this situation, we generalize a growth process based on the TASEP model by allowing particles to move both forward and backward on the lattice.

An immune receptor complex evolved in soybean to perceive a polymorphic bacterial flagellin
Nature Communications, 2020 Ralstonia solanacearum evades plant immunity by producing an atypical flagellin protein, thus causing bacterial wilt disease. Here, Wei et al. show that soybean has evolved a divergent flagellin receptor that recognises R.

Bacterial flagellin—a potent immunomodulatory agent [PDF]
Experimental & Molecular Medicine, 2017 Flagellin is a subunit protein of the flagellum, a whip-like appendage that enables bacterial motility. Traditionally, flagellin was viewed as a virulence factor that contributes to the adhesion and invasion of host cells, but now it has emerged as a potent immune activator, shaping both the innate and adaptive arms of immunity during microbial ...

Discrete elastic model for stretching-induced flagellar polymorphs [PDF]
EPL 82, 28001 (2008), 2008 Force-induced reversible transformations between coiled and normal polymorphs of bacterial flagella have been observed in recent optical-tweezer experiment. We introduce a discrete elastic rod model with two competing helical states governed by a fluctuating spin-like variable that represents the underlying conformational states of flagellin monomers ...

The role of the C-terminal D0 domain of flagellin in activation of Toll like receptor 5. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Flagellin is a wide-spread bacterial virulence factor sensed by the membrane-bound Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) and by the intracellular NAIP5/NLRC4 inflammasome receptor.

Scientific Reports, 2019 Many links between gut microbiota and disease development have been established in recent years, with particular bacterial strains emerging as potential therapeutics rather than causative agents. In this study we describe the immunostimulatory properties

Flagellin attenuates experimental sepsis in a macrophage-dependent manner
Critical Care, 2019 Background Sepsis is the leading cause of death among critically ill patients, and no specific therapeutic agent is currently approved for the treatment of sepsis. Methods We assessed the effects of flagellin administration on survival, bacterial burden,

Characterization of Pro-Inflammatory Flagellin Proteins Produced by Lactobacillus ruminis and Related Motile Lactobacilli [PDF]
, 2012 peer-reviewedLactobacillus ruminis is one of at least twelve motile but poorly characterized species found in the genus Lactobacillus. Of these, only L. ruminis has been isolated from mammals, and this species may be considered as an autochthonous member
