Its effect on human gut motility has been unknown.
However, MotPS-dependent motility has been observed at elevated external pH, external Na+ concentrations and viscosity when the expression levels of MotP and MotS are considerably increased by a mutation in a stem loop located between the ccpA and motP genes26,27.
The role of AKAP as a key regulator of sperm motility has been already established (Vijayaraghavan et al. [1997]).
In the last years, a role in the regulation of cell motility has been proposed for p27.
Next we quantified swimming and swarming motility on 0.35% agar since a surfactant molecule secreted by Serratia for motility has been shown to repel C. elegans [6], [9].
Over the past years, C. elegans' motility has been studied across a wide range of environments, including crawling on substrates, swimming in fluids, and locomoting through microfluidic substrates.
Increased T. gondii motility has been reported only rarely, and is generally characterized by fast and unregulated movement not resulting in productive locomotion.
Since bacterial flagella-mediated motility has been shown to accelerate Salmonella invasion of cultured cells [51], we investigated if the non-invasive LF82Δhfq had motility defects.
The role of ATP in regulating microglial morphology and motility has been previously demonstrated in vitro [24], [26], [45], [46] and in vivo [1].
Indeed, a role for CD47 in the regulation of cell motility has been documented in macrophage phagocytosis [26] and smooth muscle cells [20].
Non-aqueous, or solid-substrate, motility has been recognized in a growing number of bacterial species and several motility mechanisms have been identified, including swarming, twitching, sliding, and gliding motility [6].
