MUC1 ectodomain is a flagellin-targeting decoy receptor and biomarker operative during Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
We previously reported that flagellin-expressing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) provokes NEU1 sialidase-mediated MUC1 ectodomain (MUC1-ED) desialylation and MUC1-ED shedding from murine lungs in vivo.

Characterization of structural and immunological properties of a fusion protein between flagellin from Salmonella and lumazine synthase from Brucella [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

Generation and selection of anti-flagellin monoclonal antibodies useful for serotyping Salmonella enterica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In developing countries, bacterial acute gastroenteritis continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality among young children. Salmonellosis constitutes a major cause of infectious enteritis worldwide, most of them associated to the ...

Plants have a sensitive perception system for the most conserved domain of bacterial flagellin.

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, 1999
The flagellum is an important virulence factor for bacteria pathogenic to animals and plants. Here we demonstrate that plants have a highly sensitive chemoperception system for eubacterial flagellins, specifically targeted to the most highly conserved ...

Flagellin Is Not a Major Defense Elicitor in Ralstonia solanacearum Cells or Extracts Applied to Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2004
The phytopathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum requires motility for full virulence, and its flagellin is a candidate pathogen-associated molecular pattern that may elicit plant defenses. Boiled extracts from R.

Flagellin Encoded in Gene-Based Vector Vaccines Is a Route-Dependent Immune Adjuvant. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Flagellin has been tested as a protein-based vaccine adjuvant, with the majority of studies focused on antibody responses. Here, we evaluated the adjuvant activity of flagellin for both cellular and humoral immune responses in BALB/c mice in the setting ...

FliI6-FliJ molecular motor assists with unfolding in the type III secretion export apparatus [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports (2020) 10:7127, 2019
The role of rotational molecular motors of the ATP synthase class is integral to the metabolism of cells. Yet the function of FliI6-FliJ complex - homologous to the F1 ATPase motor - within the flagellar export apparatus remains unclear. We use a simple two-state model adapted from studies of linear molecular motors to identify key features of this ...

Halobacterial flagellins are sulfated glycoproteins.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1985
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 ...

Rapid Preparation of Unsheathed Bacterial Flagella

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
The flagellum is required for bacterial swimming and swarming motility. In the biphasic Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium), the flagellar filament is build up by two distinct monomeric subunits, flagellin FliC and FljB.
