The effectors of enterocyte invasion by Shigella are dependent on a type III secretion system that contains a needle whose length average does not exceed 50 nm. Previously, we reported that Spa32 is...
IpaD is localized at the tip of the Shigella flexneri type III secretion apparatus (2007)
Sani, Musa, Botteaux, Anne, Parsot, Claude, Sansonetti, Philippe, Boekema, Egbert J., Allaoui, Abdelmounaaïm
Type III secretion (T3S) systems are used by numerous Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria to inject virulence proteins into animal and plant host cells. The core of the T3S apparatus, known as the...

The secretion apparatus known as the needle complex (NC) from the bacterium Shigella flexneri was studied by single particle electron microscopy. The isolated intact NC appears in projection to be...

Flagellation in archaea is widespread and is involved in swimming motility. Here, we demonstrate that the structural flagellin gene from the crenarchaeaon Sulfolobus solfataricus is highly expressed...
Weapons of Mass Secretion:The Type III Secretion System of Shigella flexneri (2007)
In bacteria that are pathogenic for animals, type III secretion systems allow extracellular bacteria adhering to the surface of a host cell to inject specialized proteins across the plasma membrane....
Flagellar Motility and Structure in the Hyperthermoacidophilic Archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus▿

Flagellation in archaea is widespread and is involved in swimming motility. Here, we demonstrate that the structural flagellin gene from the crenarchaeaon Sulfolobus solfataricus is highly expressed...
Toward visualization of nanomachines in their native cellular environment
Pierson, Jason, Sani, Musa, Tomova, Cveta, Godsave, Susan, Peters, Peter J.
The cellular nanocosm is made up of numerous types of macromolecular complexes or biological nanomachines. These form functional modules that are organized into complex subcellular networks....
