Domain structure of flagellin [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1984 The chemotaxis of bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli involves smooth swimming punctuated by periods of tumbling. In smooth swimming the flagellar filaments are left‐handed, in tumbling they are right‐handed with a different wavelength. The filaments are constructed from a globular protein, flagellin, by a process of self‐assembly.

Flagellin genes of Yersinia enterocolitica biotype 1A: playground of evolution towards novel flagellin functions [PDF]
Microbiology Research, 2010 Yersinia enterocolitica strain 8081, representing the high-pathogenic biotype 1B, harbours three flagellin genes arranged in tandem in the order fliC3, fliC, fliC2. The genes are organized monocistronic but coordinately expressed under the control of the

FliS/flagellin/FliW heterotrimer couples type III secretion and flagellin homeostasis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Flagellin is amongst the most abundant proteins in flagellated bacterial species and constitutes the major building block of the flagellar filament. The proteins FliW and FliS serve in the post-transcriptional control of flagellin and guide the protein ...

Subtilase SBT5.2 inactivates flagellin immunogenicity in the plant apoplast [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMost angiosperm plants recognise the 22-residue flagellin (flg22) epitope in bacterial flagellin via homologs of cell surface receptor FLS2 (flagellin sensitive-2) and mount pattern-triggered immune responses.

Regulation of flagellin glycosylation genes in Campylobacter jejuni: influence of NssR, the nitrosative stress response regulator. [PDF]
, 2010 Campylobacter jejuni is one of the leading causes of food borne illness worldwide; the main cause of infection is the consumption of undercooked, contaminated poultry. Motility, mediated by single polar flagella, is necessary for Campylobacter virulence.

Flagellin delays spontaneous human neutrophil apoptosis [PDF]
, 2010 Neutrophils are short-lived cells that rapidly undergo apoptosis. However, their survival can be regulated by signals from the environment. Flagellin, the primary component of the bacterial flagella, is known to induce neutrophil activation.

Characterization of flagellin perception in "Arabidopsis thaliana" [PDF]
, 2003 At the time when this work was started, a highly sensitive perception system for bacterial flagellin in plant cells had been described (Felix et al, 1999), and FLS1 and FLS2, had been identified in A.

Directed Evolution of FLS2 towards Novel Flagellin Peptide Recognition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) are molecules, or domains within molecules, that are conserved across microbial taxa and can be recognized by a plant or animal immune system.
