Flagella development

Flagella Development and Regression in the Life Cycles of Chlamydomonas... 

One of the most fascinating recent developments in biology has been the discovery of numerous highly complex biopolymer assemblies (see also section C2.14.2.3) such as the ribosome or the bacterial flagellum [93, 94 and 95], the envy of nanoteclmologists seeking to miniaturize man-made mechanical devices (note that the word machinery is also sometimes used to refer to multienzyme complexes such as the proteasome [96]), and an entire... 

Hi) N -Methyllysines. Monomethyllysine was first observed in the flagellum protein of S. typhimurium by Ambler and Rees (1959). Since then, mono-, di-, and trimethyl derivatives of lysine have been found in a wide variety of proteins (see Paik and Kim, 1975). The methyl groups, as in other such derivatives, arise from S-adenosylmethionine, but the functional importance of the modifications remains obscure. Numerous procedures have been developed for their identification and quantification (Glazer et a/., 1975 Paik and Kim, 1975).
