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.

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

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 ...

Microtubule sliding in swimming sperm flagella: direct and indirect measurements on sea urchin and tunicate spermatozoa [PDF]
, 1991 Direct measurements of microtubule sliding in the flagella of actively swimming, demembranated, spermatozoa have been made using submicron diameter gold beads as markers on the exposed outer doublet microtubules.

Motor-Driven Bacterial Flagella and Buckling Instabilities [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Many types of bacteria swim by rotating a bundle of helical filaments also called flagella. Each filament is driven by a rotary motor and a very flexible hook transmits the motor torque to the filament. We model it by discretizing Kirchhoff's elastic-rod theory and develop a coarse-grained approach for driving the helical filament by a motor torque.

Chemotactic Turning Behaviour of Tubularia Spermatozoa [PDF]
, 1970 1. The movements of Tubularia spermatozoa in the vicinity of micropipettes filled with extracts of female hydranths, which chemotactically attract the spermatozoa, have been recorded by multiple-flash photomicrography. 2.

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.

Trypanosoma rangeli protein tyrosine phosphatase is associated with the parasite's flagellum
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012 Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play an essential role in the regulation of cell differentiation in pathogenic trypanosomatids. In this study, we describe a PTP expressed by the non-pathogenic protozoan Trypanosoma rangeli (TrPTP2).
