Abstract excerpt
Several mycoplasma species are known to glide on solid surfaces such as glass in the direction of the membrane protrusion, but the mechanism underlying this movement is unknown. To identify a novel protein involved in gliding, we raised monoclonal antibodies against a detergent-insoluble protein fraction of Mycoplasma mobile, the fastest glider, and screened the antibodies for inhibitory effects on gliding. Five...
