Collaboration of FlhF and FlhG to regulate polar-flagella number and localization in Vibrio alginolyticus.
Precise regulation of the number and placement of flagella is critical for the mono-polar-flagellated bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus to swim efficiently. We have shown previously that the number of polar flagella is positively regulated by FlhF and negatively regulated by FlhG. We now show that DeltaflhF cells are non-flagellated as are most DeltaflhFG cells; however, some of the DeltaflhFG cel...
متن کاملRegulation of polar flagellar number by the flhF and flhG genes in Vibrio alginolyticus.
The number and location of bacterial flagella vary with the species. The Vibrio alginolyticus cell has a single polar flagellum, which is driven by sodium ions. We selected mutants on the basis of reduced swarming ability on soft agar plates. Among them, we found two mutants with multiple polar flagella, and named them KK148 and NMB155. In Pseudomonas species, it is known that FlhF and FleN, wh...
متن کاملVisualization of Flagella during bacterial Swarming.
When cells of Escherichia coli are grown in broth and suspended at low density in a motility medium, they swim independently, exploring a homogeneous, isotropic environment. Cell trajectories and the way in which these trajectories are determined by flagellar dynamics are well understood. When cells are grown in a rich medium on agar instead, they elongate, produce more flagella, and swarm. The...
متن کاملTrimeric ring-like structure of ArsA ATPase.
ArsA protein is the soluble subunit of the Ars anion pump in the Escherichia coli membrane which extrudes arsenite or antimonite from the cytoplasm. The molecular weight of the subunit is 63 kDa. In the cell it hydrolyzes ATP, and the energy released is used by the membrane-bound subunit ArsB to transport the substrates across the membrane. We have obtained two-dimensional crystals of ArsA in t...
متن کاملIntraflagellar transport (IFT) during assembly and disassembly of Chlamydomonas flagella
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) of particles along flagellar microtubules is required for the assembly and maintenance of eukaryotic flagella and cilia. In Chlamydomonas, anterograde and retrograde particles viewed by light microscopy average 0.12-microm and 0.06-microm diameter, respectively. Examination of IFT particle structure in growing flagella by electron microscopy revealed similar size ...
