Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is the receptor of bacterial Flagellin. Reportedly, TLR5 engagement helps to combat infections, especially at mucosal sites, by evoking responses from epithelial cells and immune cells. Here we report that TLR5 is expressed on

Flagellin attenuates experimental sepsis in a macrophage-dependent manner
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,

An immune receptor complex evolved in soybean to perceive a polymorphic bacterial flagellin
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.

MAP1S controls breast cancer cell TLR5 signaling pathway and promotes TLR5 signaling-based tumor suppression. [PDF]
Targeting TLR5 signaling in breast cancer represents a novel strategy in cancer immunotherapy. However, the underlying mechanism by which TLR5 signaling inhibits cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth has not been elucidated.

Halobacterial flagellins are sulfated glycoproteins.
The cell-surface glycoprotein of Halobacteria contains oligosaccharides of the type Glc4----1GlcA4----1GlcA4----1GlcA (where GlcA indicates glucuronic acid) with a sulfate group attached to each of the GlcA residues. We report here that in addition to this cell-surface glycoprotein, the halobacterial flagellar proteins (recently described by Alam, M ...

Acidovorax avenae causes a brown stripe disease in monocot plants. We recently reported that a rice-incompatible strain of A. avenae caused hypersensitive cell death in rice and that the flagellin of the incompatible strain was involved in this response.

Summary: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Sm), a multidrug-resistant pathogen often isolated from immunocompromised individuals, presents its flagellin to multimeric tandem repeats within the ectodomain of mucin-1 (MUC1-ED), expressed on airway epithelia ...

Flagellin is a key bacterial virulence factor that can stimulate molecular immune signaling in both animals and plants. The detailed mechanisms of recognizing flagellin and mounting an efficient immune response have been uncovered in vertebrates; however,

BackgroundThe bacterial protein flagellin plays a major role in stimulating mucosal surface innate immune response to bacterial infection and uniquely induces profound cytoprotection against pathogens, chemicals, and radiation.
