Non‐equivalence in old‐ and new‐flagellum daughter cells of a proliferative division in Trypanosoma brucei

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 2019
Differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei, a flagellated protozoan parasite, between life cycle stages typically occurs through an asymmetric cell division process, producing two morphologically distinct daughter cells.

The Leishmania major BBSome subunit BBS1 is essential for parasite virulence in the mammalian host [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a human genetic disorder with a spectrum of symptoms caused by primary cilium dysfunction. The disease is caused by mutations in one of at least 17 identified genes, of which seven encode subunits of the BBSome, a protein ...

Bidirectional intraflagellar transport is restricted to two sets of microtubule doublets in the trypanosome flagellum

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is the rapid bidirectional movement of large protein complexes driven by kinesin and dynein motors along microtubule doublets of cilia and flagella.

Neutrophil extracellular trap release driven by bacterial motility: Relevance to cystic fibrosis lung disease

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2017
Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation represents a unique effector function of neutrophils (PMN). The mechanism of NET release in response to bacteria is largely unknown.

The actin cytoskeleton of the mouse sperm flagellum is organized in a helical structure

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2018
Conception in mammals is determined by the fusion of a sperm cell with an oocyte during fertilization. Motility is one of the features of sperm that allows them to succeed in fertilization, and their flagellum is essential for this function ...

Architecture and Assembly of Periplasmic Flagellum

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2019
ABSTRACT Periplasmic flagella are complex nanomachines responsible for distinctive morphology and motility of spirochetes. Although bacterial flagella have been extensively studied for several decades in the model systems Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica , our understanding ...

Automated identification of flagella from videomicroscopy via the medial axis transform [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Ubiquitous in eukaryotic organisms, the flagellum is a well-studied organelle that is well-known to be responsible for motility in a variety of organisms. Commonly necessitated in their study is the capability to image and subsequently track the movement of one or more flagella using videomicroscopy, requiring digital isolation and location of the ...

Formation and function of the manchette and flagellum during spermatogenesis.

open access: yesReproduction, 2016
The last phase of spermatogenesis involves spermatid elongation (spermiogenesis), where the nucleus is remodeled by chromatin condensation, the excess cytoplasm is removed and the acrosome and sperm tail are formed.

Calcium-induced asymmetrical beating of triton-demembranated sea urchin sperm flagella [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Asymmetrical bending waves can be obtained by reactivating demembranated sea urchin spermatozoa at high Ca2+ concentrations. Moving-film flash photography shows that asymmetrical flagellar bending waves are associated with premature termination of the ...
