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.

An orphan kinesin controls trypanosome morphology transitions by targeting FLAM3 to the flagellum.
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Trypanosoma brucei undergoes life cycle form transitions from trypomastigotes to epimastigotes in the insect vector by re-positioning the mitochondrial genome and re-locating the flagellum and flagellum-associated cytoskeletal structures.

Ccdc38 is required for sperm flagellum biogenesis and male fertility in mice.
Development, 2022 The sperm flagellum is essential for male fertility, and defects in flagellum biogenesis are associated with male infertility. Deficiency of CCDC42 is specifically associated with malformation of mouse sperm flagella.

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

Flagellar energy costs across the tree of life
eLife, 2022 Flagellar-driven motility grants unicellular organisms the ability to gather more food and avoid predators, but the energetic costs of construction and operation of flagella are considerable.

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 ...
