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.

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

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 ...

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.

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.
