The filament is made up of eleven smaller "protofilaments", nine of which contains flagellin in the L-type shape and the other two in the R-type shape. [6] The helical N-and C-termini of flagellin form the inner core of the flagellin protein, and is responsible for flagellin's ability to polymerize into a filament. The middle residues make up ...
Similarly, flagella grow by exporting flagellin through the flagellar machinery. It is hypothesised that the flagellum evolved from the type three secretory system. It is hypothesised that the flagellum evolved from the type three secretory system.
A flagellum (/ f l ə ˈ dʒ ɛ l əm /; pl.: flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hair-like appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.
FLS2 consists of 3 domains: an extracellular, a transmembrane, and an intracellular. The extracellular domain is known as the Leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain. It is in this region, which is the amino-terminus, where it is said to have direct interaction with flagellin initiating the response of FLS2 to flg22.
In biology, phase variation is a method for dealing with rapidly varying environments without requiring random mutation. It involves the variation of protein expression, frequently in an on-off fashion, within different parts of a bacterial population.

Invivogen was founded in 1997 in Toulouse, France. [1] The company is known for its mycoplasma detection and removal agents and its toll-like receptor product line. Although its first products focused on gene therapy, the company now produces tools for innate immunity research, immunology research, cancer research, RNA interference, cell culture, cloning and gene expression.

The flagellum is a polymer of FliC (aka flagellin) monomers with a central cavity. Flagellin has two conformations in its polymeric form, a right handed helix and a left handed helix. This has been shown by low resolution EM studies of mutants that are trapped into a particular handedness, and by molecular dynamics simulations of the wild type ...
