Indeed, across multiple eukaryotic lineages, species that have flagella tend to have more conserved types of tubulin than species without tails, Kennard found. “The results clearly show what happens ...

Existence of cilia in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) raises a fundamental question in biology ... Male mice lacking either XAP5 or XAP5L display infertility, as a result of meiotic ...

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...

NASA iCOOL (Center for the Integration of the Origins of Life) and School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0400, United States Institute of ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and a new-to ...

10 Surface appendages like pili, also known as fimbriae, aid in attachment and genetic exchange, while flagella enable movement, allowing prokaryotes to seek ... Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they ...

The protein was purified as described above. For the pulldown with Cr flagella extracts, 30μM of His-crIFT172 968-C or 30μM His-TEV protease were immobilized on 50μL of TALON beads (GE healthcare ...

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that colonizes the gastric mucus overlying the epithelium of the stomach in more than 50% of the world’s population. This ...

The gene products delivered by plasmids could be peptides, proteins, short hairpin RNAs and long non-coding RNAs. Both prokaryotic plasmids and eukaryotic plasmids can be delivered by bacteria, but ...

Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures—called flagella—that spin around to propel themselves in fluids. These movements employ protein complexes known as the "flagellar ...
