Archaeal photoreceptors consist of sensory rhodopsins in complex with their cognate
transducers. After light excitation, a two‐component signaling chain is activated, which is …

The bacterial flagellar motor is driven by an ion flux that is converted to torque by motor-
attendant complexes known as stators. The dynamics of stator assembly around the motor in …

Transmembrane chemotaxis receptors are found in bacteria in extended hexagonal arrays
stabilized by the membrane and by cytosolic binding partners, the kinase CheA and …

Chemotactic bacteria sense environmental changes via dedicated receptors that bind to
extra-or intracellular cues and relay this signal to ultimately alter direction of movement …

Bacterial chemotaxis affords motile bacteria the ability to navigate the environment to locate
niches for growth and survival. At the molecular level, chemotaxis depends on …

Bacteria employ remarkable membrane-bound nanoarrays to sense their environment and
direct their swimming. Arrays consist of chemotaxis receptor trimers of dimers that are …

Chemotactic responses in motile bacteria are the result of sophisticated signal transduction
by large, highly organized arrays of sensory proteins. Despite tremendous progress in the …

Electron cryotomography (ECT) can produce three-dimensional images of biological
samples such as intact cells in a near-native, frozen-hydrated state to macromolecular …

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as viruses and plasmids, drive the evolution and
adaptation of their cellular hosts from all three domains of life. This includes microorganisms …

Motile archaea are propelled by the archaellum, whose motor complex consists of the
membrane protein ArlJ, the ATPase ArlI, and the ATP‐binding protein ArlH. Despite its …
