Essential Role of CFAP53 in Sperm Flagellum Biogenesis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The sperm flagellum is essential for male fertility. Despite vigorous research progress toward understanding the pathogenesis of flagellum-related diseases, much remains unknown about the mechanisms underlying the flagellum biogenesis itself.

A chain mechanism for flagellum growth [PDF]
Nature, 2013 Bacteria swim by means of long flagella extending from the cell surface. These are assembled from thousands of protein subunits translocated across the cell membrane by an export machinery at the base of each flagellum. Unfolded subunits then transit through a narrow channel at the core of the growing flagellum to the tip, where they crystallize into ...

Basal body positioning is controlled by flagellum formation in Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 To perform their multiple functions, cilia and flagella are precisely positioned at the cell surface by mechanisms that remain poorly understood. The protist Trypanosoma brucei possesses a single flagellum that adheres to the cell body where a specific ...

Eversion and withdrawal of an intromittent organ before sexual maturation prepares male beetles for copulation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Some species of criocerine beetles have a hyper-elongated part of the intromittent organ called a flagellum. In resting position, the flagellum is stored in a specialized internal sac in the intromittent organ. This specialized state of the flagellum and

The trypanosome flagellum [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2003 African Trypanosomes are flagellated protozoan parasites that cause sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in cattle. During its life cycle, Trypanosoma brucei alternates between an insect vector (tsetse fly) and a mammalian host.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Cyclic AMP signalling in trypanosomes differs from most eukaryotes due to absence of known cAMP effectors and cAMP independence of PKA. We have previously identified four genes from a genome-wide RNAi screen for resistance to the cAMP phosphodiesterase ...

Propulsion Mechanism of Flexible Microbead Swimmers in the Low Reynolds Number Regime
Micromachines, 2020 A propulsion mechanism for a flexible microswimmer constructed from superparamagnetic microbeads with different diameters and subjected to an oscillating field was studied experimentally and theoretically herein. Various types of artificial swimmers with

Dynamic Hybrid Flagellar Motors—Fuel Switch and More
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Flagellar motors are intricate rotating nanomachines that are powered by transmembrane ion gradients. The stator complexes are the powerhouses of the flagellar motor: They convert a transmembrane ion gradient, mainly of H+ or Na+, into rotation of the ...

Disruption of Leishmania flagellum attachment zone architecture causes flagellum loss
Molecular Microbiology, 2023 AbstractLeishmania are flagellated eukaryotic parasites that cause leishmaniasis and are closely related to the other kinetoplastid parasites such as Trypanosoma brucei. In all these parasites there is a cell membrane invagination at the base of the flagellum called the flagellar pocket, which is tightly associated with and sculpted by cytoskeletal ...
