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.

Flagellar propulsion [PDF]

, 2006
In this JEB Classics paper, Sir James Gray and G. J. Hancock explained how spermatozoa are propelled by flagellar bending waves (Gray and Hancock, 1955). This paper was a lasting success because it provided an easy-to-understand solution to a complicated

Oligomerization of the FliF Domains Suggests a Coordinated Assembly of the Bacterial Flagellum MS Ring

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The bacterial flagellum is a complex, self-assembling macromolecular machine that powers bacterial motility. It plays diverse roles in bacterial virulence, including aiding in colonization and dissemination during infection.

The evolution of sperm morphometry in pheasants [PDF]

, 2007
Postcopulatory sexual selection is thought to be a potent evolutionary force driving the diversification of sperm shape and function across species. In birds, insemination and fertilisation are separated in time and sperm storage increases the duration

Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 can produce a second flagellar apparatus, which is important for root colonization.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The genomic sequence of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 has shown the presence of a 41 kb cluster of genes that encode the production of a second flagellar apparatus.

Patterns of antenal sensilla of Panstrongylus megistus from three Brazilian states [PDF]

, 2005
The objective of the present study was to analyze and describe the phenotype of the antennal sensilla of Panstrongylus megistus, one of the epidemiologically most important species of triatomines in Brazil.

The Campylobacter jejuni CiaC virulence protein is secreted from the flagellum and delivered to the cytosol of host cells

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Acute C. jejuni-mediated disease (campylobacteriosis) involves C. jejuni invasion of host epithelial cells using a set of virulence proteins known as the Campylobacter ...

The Drosophila orthologue of the primary ciliary dyskinesia-associated gene, DNAAF3, is required for axonemal dynein assembly

Biology Open, 2021
Ciliary motility is powered by a suite of highly conserved axoneme-specific dynein motor complexes. In humans, the impairment of these motors through mutation results in the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Cricket antennae shorten when bending (Acheta domesticus L.). [PDF]

, 2014
Insect antennae are important mechanosensory and chemosensory organs. Insect appendages, such as antennae, are encased in a cuticular exoskeleton and are thought to bend only between segments or subsegments where the cuticle is thinner, more flexible, or

Mutations in CFAP43 and CFAP44 cause male infertility and flagellum defects in Trypanosoma and human

Nature Communications, 2018
Spermatogenesis defects concern millions of men worldwide, yet the vast majority remains undiagnosed. Here we report men with primary infertility due to multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella with severe disorganization of the sperm ...
