Characterization of the flagellar collar reveals structural plasticity essential for spirochete motility

2021-08-24

Abstract excerpt

Spirochetes are a remarkable group of bacteria with distinct morphology and periplasmic flagella that enable motility in viscous environments, such as host connective tissues. The collar, a spirochete-specific complex of the periplasmic flagellum, is required for the unique spirochete motility, yet it has not been clear how the collar assembles and enables spirochetes to transit between complex host environments....
