Dependency relationships between IFT-dependent flagellum elongation and cell morphogenesis in Leishmania [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Flagella have multiple functions that are associated with different axonemal structures. Motile flagella typically have a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules, whereas sensory flagella normally have a 9 + 0 arrangement.

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

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 ...

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.

Flagellar energy costs across the tree of life
eLife, 2022 Flagellar-driven motility grants unicellular organisms the ability to gather more food and avoid predators, but the energetic costs of construction and operation of flagella are considerable.

An orphan kinesin controls trypanosome morphology transitions by targeting FLAM3 to the flagellum.
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Trypanosoma brucei undergoes life cycle form transitions from trypomastigotes to epimastigotes in the insect vector by re-positioning the mitochondrial genome and re-locating the flagellum and flagellum-associated cytoskeletal structures.

On the interaction of cationic compounds with ABC-transporters and lipid membranes [PDF]
, 2012 This thesis aimed at revealing the substrate specificity of the bacterial ABC-transporter, Sav1866. For this purpose the ABC-transporter was reconstituted into model membranes and characterized in terms of basal and drug induced ATPase activity ...
