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

Genetic components of Escherichia coli involved in its complex prey-predator interaction with Myxococcus xanthus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Myxococcus xanthus and Escherichia coli represent a well-studied microbial predator-prey pair frequently examined in laboratory settings. While significant progress has been made in comprehending the mechanisms governing M.

CFAP61 is required for sperm flagellum formation and male fertility in human and mouse

bioRxiv, 2021
Defects in the structure or motility of cilia and flagella may lead to severe diseases such as primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a multisystemic disorder with heterogeneous manifestations affecting primarily respiratory and reproductive functions.

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.

Novel kinetoplastid-specific cAMP binding proteins identified by RNAi screening for cAMP resistance in Trypanosoma brucei

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

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 ...

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 ...
