Gliding ghosts of Mycoplasma mobile.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Sept 2005

Uenoyama Atsuko, Miyata Makoto

Abstract excerpt

Several species of mycoplasmas glide on solid surfaces, in the direction of their membrane protrusion at a cell pole, by an unknown mechanism. Our recent studies on the fastest species, Mycoplasma mobile, suggested that the gliding machinery, localized at the base of the membrane protrusion (the "neck"), is composed of two huge proteins. This machinery forms spikes sticking out from the neck and propels the cell...
