Abstract excerpt
Assembly of flagella filaments in Campylobacter jejuni requires post-translational O-glycosylation of the flagellin proteins with pseudaminic acid, legionaminic acid and related derivatives. This species is unusual as the addition of pseudaminic acid replaces the requirements for toll-like receptor 5 motifs present in most bacterial flagellin proteins. The distribution and functions of the motility accessory...
