Green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions, immunofluorescence microscopy, and cryo-electron tomography revealed that the chemoreceptors of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi form long, thin arrays near both cell poles. These arrays are in close proximity to the flagellar motors. This information provides a basis for further understanding motility, chemotaxis, and protein localization in spirochetes.
绿色荧光蛋白 (GFP) 融合蛋白、免疫荧光显微镜和冷冻电子断层扫描显示,莱姆病螺旋体伯氏疏螺旋体的化学感受器在靠近细胞两端形成长而细的排列。这些排列与鞭毛马达非常接近。这些信息为进一步了解螺旋体的运动性、趋化性和蛋白质定位提供了基础。
