A Specific Ancestral Sequence Reconstruction of Flagellin Can Drive Motility in Salmonella enterica but not Escherichia coli

Jacob Scadden, Jamiema Sara Philip, Pietro Ridone, Yoshiyuki Sowa, Matthew A. B. Baker

This study uses ancestral sequence reconstruction to generate flagellin sequences and tests their ability to restore motility in E. coli and S. Typhimurium, finding limited sequence tolerance and species-specific differences.

Body-wrapping anterior flagella drive ultrafast swimming in bacterial zoospores

Naoki A. Uemura, Tsubasa Ishida, Yoshiyuki Sowa, Moon‐Sun Jang, Takeaki Tezuka, Daisuke Nakane, Yasuo Ohnishi

The paper identifies a new swimming mechanism in Actinoplanes missouriensis zoospores using anterior flagella bundles, achieving ultrafast speeds through supramolecular organization rather than motor speed.

Rescue of bacterial motility using two and three-species FliC chimeras

Jacob Scadden, Pietro Ridone, Divyangi Pandit, Yoshiyuki Sowa, Matthew A. B. Baker

The paper engineers FliC chimeras from multiple bacterial species to restore motility in E. coli, finding that two chimeras containing the S. Typhimurium D2 domain successfully rescue motility.
