Assembly and Dynamics of the Bacterial Flagellum.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2020 The bacterial flagellar motor is the most complex structure in the bacterial cell, driving the ion-driven rotation of the helical flagellum. The ordered expression of the regulon and the assembly of the series of interacting protein rings, spanning the ...

Giant FAZ10 is required for flagellum attachment zone stabilization and furrow positioning in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2017 The flagellum and flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) are important cytoskeletal structures in trypanosomatids, being required for motility, cell division and cell morphogenesis.

Mechanics of a Flagellum [PDF]
Nature, 1941 CONSIDER a simple homogeneous filament with a wave passing in the direction indicated and suppose that the filament is immersed in water (a). Allow also that the wave is passing along the filament with both an increase in velocity and amplitude and hence an increase in resistance from the water.

The Role of the Bacterial Flagellum in Adhesion and Virulence
Biology, 2013 The bacterial flagellum is a complex apparatus assembled of more than 20 different proteins. The flagellar basal body traverses the cell wall, whereas the curved hook connects the basal body to the whip-like flagellar filament that protrudes several µm ...

The Flagellum of Trypanosomes [PDF]
, 2005 Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are cytoskeletal organelles that are remarkably conserved from protists to mammals. Their basic unit is the axoneme, a well-defined cylindrical structure composed of microtubules and up to 250 associated proteins. These complex organelles are assembled by a dynamic process called intraflagellar transport.

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.

The optimal elastic flagellum [PDF]
Physics of Fluids, 2010 Motile eukaryotic cells propel themselves in viscous fluids by passing waves of bending deformation down their flagella. An infinitely long flagellum achieves a hydrodynamically optimal low-Reynolds number locomotion when the angle between its local tangent and the swimming direction remains constant along its length.

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 ...

PLoS Genetics, 2020 The assembly status of the V. cholerae flagellum regulates biofilm formation, suggesting that the bacterium senses a lack of movement to commit to a sessile lifestyle.

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 ...
