The GTPase IFT27 is involved in both anterograde and retrograde intraflagellar transport
eLife, 2014 The construction of cilia and flagella depends on intraflagellar transport (IFT), the bidirectional movement of two protein complexes (IFT-A and IFT-B) driven by specific kinesin and dynein motors.

Dynamics of a bacterial flagellum under reverse rotation [PDF]
, 2016 To initiate tumbling of an E. coli, one of the helical flagella reverses its sense of rotation. It then transforms from its normal form first to the transient semicoiled state and subsequently to the curly-I state.

Molecular basis of the morphogenesis of sperm head and tail in mice
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2022 Background The spermatozoon has a complex molecular apparatus necessary for fertilization in its head and flagellum. Recently, numerous genes that are needed to construct the molecular apparatus of spermatozoa have been identified through the analysis of

Cell body rocking is a dominant mechanism for flagellar synchronization in a swimming alga
, 2013 The unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas swims with two flagella, which can synchronize their beat. Synchronized beating is required to swim both fast and straight.

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 ...
