Conserved GYXLI motif of FlhA is involved in dynamic domain motions of FlhA required for flagellar protein export

T. Minamino, M. Kinoshita, Y. Inoue, A. Kitao, K. Namba

This study identifies the conserved GYXLI motif in FlhA as critical for dynamic domain motions in FlhAC, enabling efficient flagellar protein export via the fT3SS.

Regulation of caveolae through cholesterol-depletion dependent tubulation by PACSIN2/Syndapin II

A. G. Amir, K. Takemura, K. Hanawa-Suetsugu, K. Oono-Yakura, K. Yasuhara, A. Kitao, S. Suetsugu

This study shows that PACSIN2-mediated membrane tubulation and caveolae internalization are regulated by cholesterol levels in the plasma membrane.

High pressure inhibits signaling protein binding to the flagellar motor and bacterial chemotaxis through enhanced hydration

H. Hata, Y. Nishihara, M. Nishiyama, Y. Sowa, I. Kawagishi, A. Kitao

This study investigates how high pressure affects CheYp-FliM binding in E. coli chemotaxis using molecular dynamics and microscopy, finding that pressure weakens binding by ~10 kcal/mol and inhibits motor reversal.
