A model symbiosis reveals a role for sheathed-flagellum rotation in the release of immunogenic lipopolysaccharide.

abstract：:Mutations in the polycystin genes, PKD1 or PKD2, results in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). Although a genetic basis of ADPKD is established, we lack a clear understanding of polycystin proteins' functions as ion channels. This question remains unsolved largely because polycystins localize to the...
