A dynamic coordination of flagellum and cytoplasmic cytoskeleton assembly specifies cell morphogenesis in trypanosomes

Journal of Cell Science, 2015
Plasma membrane‐to‐plasma membrane connections are common features of eukaryotic cells, with cytoskeletal frameworks below the respective membranes underpinning these connections.

A Chaperone for the Stator Units of a Bacterial Flagellum

mBio, 2019
The bacterial flagellum is a reversible rotating motor powered by ion transport through stator units, which also exert torque on the rotor component to turn the flagellum for motility. Species-specific adaptations to flagellar motors impact stator function to meet the demands of each species to sufficiently power flagellar rotation.

Survey of the Ciliary Motility Machinery of Drosophila Sperm and Ciliated Mechanosensory Neurons Reveals Unexpected Cell-Type Specific Variations: A Model for Motile Ciliopathies

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
The motile cilium/flagellum is an ancient eukaryotic organelle. The molecular machinery of ciliary motility comprises a variety of cilium-specific dynein motor complexes along with other complexes that regulate their activity.

Tssk4 is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of sperm flagellum.

Molecular human reproduction, 2015
Tssk4 belongs to the Testis Specific Serine/threonine protein Kinase (TSSK) family, members of which play an important role in spermatogenesis and/or spermiogenesis. Several Tssk family proteins have extensively been studied.

Phage Reduce Stability for Regaining Infectivity during Antagonistic Coevolution with Host Bacterium

Viruses, 2019
The coevolution between phage and host bacterium is an important force that drives the evolution of the microbial community, yet the coevolution mechanisms have still not been well analyzed.

Building a flagellum outside the bacterial cell

Trends in Microbiology, 2014
Flagella, the helical propellers that extend from the bacterial surface, are a paradigm for how complex molecular machines can be built outside the living cell. Their assembly requires ordered export of thousands of structural subunits across the cell membrane and this is achieved by a type III export machinery located at the flagellum base, after ...

Basal body multipotency and axonemal remodelling are two pathways to a 9+0 flagellum

Nature Communications, 2015
Eukaryotic cilia/flagella exhibit two characteristic ultrastructures reflecting two main functions; a 9+2 axoneme for motility and a 9+0 axoneme for sensation and signalling. Whether, and if so how, they interconvert is unclear. Here we analyse flagellum

SAS-4 Protein in Trypanosoma brucei Controls Life Cycle Transitions by Modulating the Length of the Flagellum Attachment Zone Filament*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
The evolutionarily conserved centriole/basal body protein SAS-4 regulates centriole duplication in metazoa and basal body duplication in flagellated and ciliated organisms.
