A crucial role of Flagellin in the induction of airway mucus production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen involved in nosocomial infections. Flagellin is a P. aeruginosa virulence factor involved in host response to this pathogen. We examined the role of flagellin in P.

High levels of cyclic-di-GMP in plant-associated Pseudomonas correlate with evasion of plant immunity [PDF]
The plant innate immune system employs plasma membrane-localized receptors that specifically perceive pathogen/microbe-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs/MAMPs).

Salmonella Heterogeneously Expresses Flagellin during Colonization of Plants
Minimally processed or fresh fruits and vegetables are unfortunately linked to an increasing number of food-borne diseases, such as salmonellosis. One of the relevant virulence factors during the initial phases of the infection process is the bacterial ...

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

Evidence for recombination in the flagellin locus of Campylobacter jejuni: implications for the flagellin gene typing scheme [PDF]
The flagellin subunit of the flagellar filament in Campylobacter jejuni is encoded by two highly homologous tandem genes, flaA and flaB. The flaA gene was sequenced in 18 strains of C. jejuni, including isolates from three outbreak groups. Sequences obtained were compared with flaA sequences available in the GenBank database, and all were analyzed for ...

Legionella pneumophila strain 130b evades macrophage cell death independent of the effector SidF in the absence of flagellin [PDF]
International audienceThe human pathogen Legionella pneumophila must evade host cell death signaling to enable replication in lung macrophages and to cause disease. After bacterial growth, however, L.

Significant abundance of bacterial flagellin and expression of its surface localized receptor toll-like receptor 5 and cytokine interleukin-22 in South African infants with poor oral rotavirus vaccine take. [PDF]
Bacterial flagellin, a potent intestinal innate immune activator, prevents murine rotavirus (RV) infection independent of adaptive immunity and interferons. The flagellin-induced immunity is mediated by Toll-like receptor (TLR5) and Nod-like receptor C4 (

Summary: Unidirectional growth of filamentous protein assemblies including the bacterial flagellum relies on dedicated polymerization factors (PFs). The molecular determinants and structural transitions imposed by PFs on multi-subunit assembly are poorly
