Cytoskeletal "jellyfish" structure of Mycoplasma mobile.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 4 Dec 2007

Nakane Daisuke, Miyata Makoto

Abstract excerpt

Mycoplasma mobile, a parasitic bacterium lacking a peptidoglycan layer, glides on solid surfaces in the direction of a membrane protrusion at a cell pole by a unique mechanism. Recently, we proposed a working model in which cells are propelled by leg proteins clustering at the protrusion's base. The legs repeatedly catch and release sialic acids on the solid surface, a motion that is driven by the force generated...
