Interaction of FliS flagellar chaperone with flagellin [PDF]
Premature polymerization of flagellin (FliC), the main component of flagellar filaments, is prevented by the FliS chaperone in the cytosol. Interaction of FliS with flagellin was characterized by isothermal titration calorimetry producing an association constant of 1.9 × 107 M−1 and a binding stoichiometry of 1:1.

Pseudomonas evades immune recognition of flagellin in both mammals and plants.
The building blocks of bacterial flagella, flagellin monomers, are potent stimulators of host innate immune systems. Recognition of flagellin monomers occurs by flagellin-specific pattern-recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) in ...

High-Resolution Structure and Intermolecular Interactions between L-type Straight Flagellar Filaments [PDF]
Bacterial mobility is powered by rotation of helical flagellar filaments driven by rotary motors. Flagellin isolated from {\it Salmonella Typhimurium} SJW1660 strain, which differs by a point mutation from the wild-type strain, assembles into straight filaments in which flagellin monomers are arranged into left-handed helix.

Understanding the dynamics of Toll-like Receptor 5 response to flagellin and its regulation by estradiol [PDF]
© 2017 The Author(s). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are major players of the innate immune system. Once activated, they trigger a signalling cascade that leads to NF-ΰ B translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Single cell analysis shows that NF-ΰ

Methylation of the Flagellin of Salmonella typhimurium [PDF]
The methylation of endogenous proteins by Salmonella typhimurium SL 870 was investigated in cell-free extracts by using S -adenosylmethionine as methyl donor. Several lines of evidence are presented which suggest that one of the methylated products is the protein flagellin.

Studies on the Use of Flagellin as an Immunostimulant and Vaccine Adjuvant in Fish Aquaculture
Immunostimulants and vaccines are important for controlling infectious diseases in fish aquaculture. In this study we assess the potential of flagellin to be used for such purposes in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Sea anemone model has a single Toll-like receptor that can function in pathogen detection, NF-κB signal transduction, and development [PDF]
In organisms from insects to vertebrates, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are primary pathogen detectors that activate downstream pathways, specifically those that direct expression of innate immune effector genes.
