Archaeal motility structures, ... while they may share functional analogies with bacterial flagella or pili, their protein compositions and assembly mechanisms are unique.

Archaeal motility structures, comprising specialised appendages such as archaella and type IV pili-like filaments, are pivotal for cellular movement, adhesion and intercellular communication.

There are huge gaps in our knowledge of sperm, from how they navigate to why sperm counts are tumbling. The BBC unravels why we know so little about this perplexing cell.

eLife Assessment. This useful manuscript describes cryo-EM structures of archaeal proteasomes that reveal insights into how occupancy of binding pockets on the 20S protease regulates proteasome gating ...

The bacterial flagellin fusion protein, FliTrx, was modified by inserting a peptide containing 24 histidine residues and shown to successfully export and self-assemble to form flagella nanotubes. The ...
