Flagellar membrane association via interaction with lipid rafts [PDF]
, 2009 The eukaryotic flagellar membrane has a distinct composition from other domains of the plasmalemma. Our work shows that the specialized composition of the trypanosome flagellar membrane reflects increased concentrations of sterols and saturated fatty ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Flagella are bacterial organelles of locomotion. Their biogenesis is highly coordinated in time and space and relies on a specialized flagellar type III secretion system (fT3SS) required for the assembly of the extracellular hook, rod, and filament parts

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

Nonlinear amplitude dynamics in flagellar beating [PDF]
R. Soc. Open Sci. 4, 160698 (2017), 2016 The physical basis of flagellar and ciliary beating is a major problem in biology which is still far from completely understood. The fundamental cytoskeleton structure of cilia and flagella is the axoneme, a cylindrical array of microtubule doublets connected by passive crosslinkers and dynein motor proteins.

Uncoupling flagellum formation and maintenance [PDF]
Cilia, 2015 Objective The role of Intraflagellar transport (IFT) in the construction of cilia and flagella is well established in numerous species. In contrast, its involvement in flagellum maintenance has only been shown in Chlamydomonas. Here, the protist Trypanosoma brucei was used as a model to investigate the role of IFT in flagellum maintenance.

From flagellar undulations to collective motion: predicting the dynamics of sperm suspensions [PDF]
J. Roy. Soc. Interface 15.140 (2018), 2018 Swimming cells and microorganisms are as diverse in their collective dynamics as they are in their individual shapes and propulsion mechanisms. Even for sperm cells, which have a stereotyped shape consisting of a cell body connected to a flexible flagellum, a wide range of collective dynamics is observed spanning from the formation of tightly packed ...

The Role of the Flagellar Protein FlgJ in the Virulence of Brucella abortus
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Brucella abortus is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes a zoonosis called brucellosis. This disease leads to abortion and infertility in cattle, and diverse complications in humans. B. abortus is a successful intracellular bacterium that has
