Ancestral reconstruction of the MotA stator subunit reveals that conserved residues far from the pore are required to drive flagellar motility

M. I. Islam, P. Ridone, A. Lin, K. A. Michie, N. J. Matzke, G. K. Hochberg, M. A. Baker

This study uses ancestral sequence reconstruction to identify conserved residues in MotA essential for flagellar motility across different bacterial species.

Homology between the flagellar export apparatus and ATP synthetase: evidence from synteny predating the Last Universal Common Ancestor

N. J. Matzke, A. Lin, M. Stone, M. A. B. Baker

The paper examines synteny between ATP synthetase and bacterial flagellar motor genes, finding deep conservation suggesting homology dating back to before LUCA.

Evaluating species distribution models with discrimination accuracy is uninformative for many applications

D. L. Warren, N. J. Matzke, T. L. Iglesias

This study shows that discrimination accuracy in species distribution models is not reliable for assessing functional accuracy in ecological applications.

Sodium-powered stators of the bacterial flagellar motor can generate torque in the presence of phenamil with mutations near the peptidoglycan-binding region.

T. Ishida, R. Ito, J. Clark, N. J. Matzke, Y. Sowa, M. A. Baker

The paper identifies mutations in the sodium-powered bacterial flagellar motor stator PotB that confer resistance to phenamil, showing that mutations near the peptidoglycan-binding region enable motor function in the presence of the inhibitor.
