Involvement of Flagellin in Kin Recognition between Bacillus velezensis Strains
Kin discrimination in nature is an effective way for bacteria to stabilize population cooperation and maintain progeny benefits. However, so far, the research on kin discrimination for Bacillus still has concentrated on “attack and defense” between cells

Domain structure of flagellin [PDF]
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 is the major constituent of the flagellar filament and faithful restoration of wild-type motility to flagellin mutants may be beneficial for studies of flagellar biology and biotechnological exploitation of the flagellar system.

Characterization of structural and immunological properties of a fusion protein between flagellin from Salmonella and lumazine synthase from Brucella [PDF]
Aiming to combine the flexibility of Brucella lumazine synthase (BLS) to adapt different protein domains in a decameric structure and the capacity of BLS and flagellin to enhance the immunogenicity of peptides that are linked to their structure, we ...

Type III Secretion Effectors with Arginine N-Glycosyltransferase Activity [PDF]
Type III secretion systems are used by many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to inject proteins, known as effectors, into the cytosol of host cells. These virulence factors interfere with a diverse array of host signal transduction pathways and cellular

Cytosolic recognition of flagellin by mouse macrophages restricts Legionella pneumophila infection. [PDF]
To restrict infection by Legionella pneumophila, mouse macrophages require Naip5, a member of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain leucine-rich repeat family of pattern recognition receptors, which detect cytoplasmic microbial products.

Classification of Bacillus subtilis flagellins [PDF]
Purified flagellins derived from 16 strains of Bacillus subtilis were classified into at least five distinct groups on the basis of their reaction with antiflagellar filament antibody and antiflagellin antibody. This classification was in good accord with that derived independently on the basis of amino acid analyses of the flagellins.

Directed Evolution of FLS2 towards Novel Flagellin Peptide Recognition. [PDF]
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.
