Directed Binding of Gliding Bacterium, Mycoplasma mobile, Shown by Detachment Force and Bond Lifetime
UNLABELLED Mycoplasma mobile, a fish-pathogenic bacterium, features a protrusion that enables it to glide smoothly on solid surfaces at a velocity of up to 4.5 µm s(-1) in the direction of the protrusion. M. mobile glides by a repeated catch-pull-release of sialylated oligosaccharides fixed on a solid surface by hundreds of 50-nm flexible "legs" sticking out from the protrusion. This gliding me...
متن کاملIdentification of a 349-kilodalton protein (Gli349) responsible for cytadherence and glass binding during gliding of Mycoplasma mobile.
Several mycoplasma species are known to glide in the direction of the membrane protrusion (head-like structure), but the mechanism underlying this movement is entirely unknown. To identify proteins involved in the gliding mechanism, protein fractions of Mycoplasma mobile were analyzed for 10 gliding mutants isolated previously. One large protein (Gli349) was observed to be missing in a mutant m...
متن کاملGliding ghosts of Mycoplasma mobile.
Several species of mycoplasmas glide on solid surfaces, in the direction of their membrane protrusion at a cell pole, by an unknown mechanism. Our recent studies on the fastest species, Mycoplasma mobile, suggested that the gliding machinery, localized at the base of the membrane protrusion (the "neck"), is composed of two huge proteins. This machinery forms spikes sticking out from the neck an...
متن کاملGliding motility of Mycoplasma sp. nov. strain 163K.
The gliding movements of Mycoplasma sp. nov. strain 163K cells were characterized by photomicrographic and microcinematographic studies. The capability of gliding proved to be a very stable property of strain 163K. Cells were continuously moving, without interruption by resting periods, on glass as well as on plastic surfaces covered with liquid medium. Gliding cells always moved in the directi...
متن کاملFlower-shaped Micromotors Driven by Gliding Bacteria
A flower-shaped micromotor driven by gliding bacteria named Mycoplasma mobile (M. mobile) has been developed by using two-photon microfabrication. This micromotor is autonomously rotated by the collisions of M. mobiles gliding randomly on a substrate. The flower-shaped rotor is derived from the unique motility of M. mobile. We examined the motility characteristics of M. mobile using walls with ...
