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 ...

Mechanisms of flagellum construction and maintenance [PDF]
Cilia, 2015 Cilia and flagella are cylindrical organelles that protrude at the surface of numerous eukaryotes including most human cells. They are composed, from base to tip, of the basal body (9 triplet microtubules), the transition zone (TZ, 9 doublet microtubules) and the axoneme (9 doublet microtubules ± 2 central microtubules).

Rab23 is a flagellar protein in
BMC Research Notes, 2011 Background Rab small GTPases are important mediators of membrane transport, and orthologues frequently retain similar locations and functions, even between highly divergent taxa.

Rotary Nanomotors in the Rear View Mirror
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Rotation is part of our everyday lives. For most of human history, rotation was considered a uniquely human invention, something beyond the anatomical capabilities of organisms.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Leishmania alternates between an insect vector and human host; in these different environments, the parasite adopts different forms. There are important commonalities between these different forms, particularly the flagellar pocket (FP) and ...

New Vistas in the Biology of the Flagellum—Leishmania Parasites
Pathogens, 2022 Like other kinetoplastid protozoa, the flagellum in Leishmania parasites plays central roles throughout the life cycle. Discoveries over the past decade have begun to elucidate flagellar functions at the molecular level in both the insect vector stage ...

Kinesin-8B controls basal body function and flagellum formation and is key to malaria transmission
Life Science Alliance, 2019 This comprehensive study describes the key role and real-time dynamics of Plasmodium kinesin-8B in microtubule-based basal body and axoneme assembly during flagellum (male gamete) formation and parasite transmission.

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 ...

Dynamic stiffening of the flagellar hook [PDF]
, 2021 Many bacteria are motile by means of one or more rotating rigid helical flagella, making them the only known organism to use rotation as a means of propulsion. The rotation is supplied by the bacterial flagellar motor, a particularly powerful rotary molecular machine.
