Flagellar filament proteins (FlaBs) of the oral spirochete Treponema denticola are modified on multiple Ser/Thr residues with a structurally novel glycan (a C7‐acylated pseudaminic acid derivative). This modification affects a highly conserved region of bacterial flagellins that interacts with Toll‐like receptor 5, and this modification is essential for flagellar assembly and motility. For details see article by Kurniyati et al.

Abstract

Molecular MicrobiologyVolume 103, Issue 1 p. i-i Front CoverFree Access Flagellar filament proteins (FlaBs) of the oral spirochete Treponema denticola are modified on multiple Ser/Thr residues with a structurally novel glycan (a C7-acylated pseudaminic acid derivative). This modification affects a highly conserved region of bacterial flagellins that interacts with Toll-like receptor 5, and this modification is essential for flagellar assembly and motility.
