Two of the most fascinating bacterial nanomachines—the broadly disseminated rotary
flagellum at the heart of cellular motility and the eukaryotic cell–puncturing injectisome …

Many bacteria swim in liquids and move over solid surfaces by rotating flagella. The
bacterial flagellum is a supramolecular protein complex that is composed of about 30 …

Elucidation of both the three-dimensional structure and the dynamics of a protein is essential
to understand its function. Technical breakthroughs in single-particle analysis based on cryo …

Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is the pathogen responsible for visceral white spot disease in
large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) and orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus …

The supercoiling of bacterial and archaeal flagellar filaments is required for motility.
Archaeal flagellar filaments have no homology to their bacterial counterparts and are …

Archaea use a molecular machine, called the archaellum, to swim. The archaellum consists
of an ATP-powered intracellular motor that drives the rotation of an extracellular filament …

Amongst the major types of archaeal filaments, several have been shown to closely
resemble bacterial homologues of the Type IV pili (T4P). Within Sulfolobales, member …

The CENP‐A nucleosome is a key structure for kinetochore assembly. Once the CENP‐A
nucleosome is established in the centromere, additional proteins recognize the CENP‐A …

Light guided by an optical nanofibre has a very steep evanescent field gradient extending
from the fibre surface. This gradient can be exploited to drive electric quadrupole transitions …

Many bacteria require flagella for the ability to move, survive, and cause infection. The
flagellum is a complex nanomachine that has evolved to increase the fitness of each …
