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 ...

A Flagellum-specific Calcium Sensor [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 The flagellar calcium-binding protein (FCaBP) of the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi associates with the flagellar membrane via its N-terminal myristate and palmitate moieties in a calcium-modulated, conformation-dependent manner. This mechanism of localization is similar to that described for neuronal calcium sensors, which undergo calcium ...

Molecular analysis of the crenarchaeal flagellum [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2011 SummaryThe ability to move towards favourable conditions provides fundamental advantages to organisms. Interestingly, flagella as motility structures evolved independently in the bacterial and the archaeal kingdom. Whereas bacterial flagella have been intensively studied, our knowledge regarding the archaeal counterpart is mostly restricted to ...

The Sheathed Flagellum of Pseudomonas stizolobii [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1969 SUMMARY: Organisms of two strains of Pseudomonas stizolobii possessed one polar flagellum of unusual thickness. Negative-contrast staining and ultrathin sectioning indicated that the flagella are sheathed and are comparable in structure to the sheathed flagella described in Vibrio and Bdellovibrio.

The flagellum in malarial parasites
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2010 The malarial parasites assemble flagella exclusively during the formation of the male gamete in the midgut of the female mosquito vector. The observation of gamete formation ex vivo reported by Laveran (Laveran MA: De la nature parasitaire des accidents de l'impaludisme. Comptes Rendues De La Societe de Biologie.

Predicting the locations of force-generating dyneins in beating cilia and flagella
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cilia and flagella are slender cylindrical organelles whose bending waves propel cells through fluids and drive fluids across epithelia. The bending waves are generated by dynein motor proteins, ATPases whose force-generating activity changes over time ...
