Refined Mechanism of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Mycoplasma mobile</named-content> Gliding Based on Structure, ATPase Activity, and Sialic Acid Binding of Machinery
ABSTRACT Mycoplasma mobile, a fish pathogen, glides on solid surfaces by repeated catch, pull, and release of sialylated oligosaccharides by a unique mechanism based on ATP energy. The gliding machinery is composed of huge surface proteins and an internal “jellyfish”-like structure. Here, we elucida...
