[[User:Fadel A. Samatey|Fadel A. Samatey]] | [[User:Fadel A. Samatey|Fadel A. Samatey]] was Head of the Transmembrane Trafficking Unit at the [http://www.oist.jp Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)] (Japan), 2007-2016. Samatey's group uses [[X-ray crystallography]], cryo-Electron microscopy, genetic, and biochemical approaches to elucidate the structures and functions of proteins, especially type III secretion proteins in [[Flagella, bacterial|bacterial flagella]]. | ||
From 1996-2007 Samatey was a member of the Keiichi Namba Group, from 1996 at Matsushita Electric, from 1997 in the [http://www.fbs.osaka-u.ac.jp/labs/namba/npn/index.html ERATO Protonic Nanomachine Project], and from 2002 at [http://www.fbs.osaka-u.ac.jp/eng/labo/09a.html Osaka University], Japan. Samatey earned his Ph.D. in 1992 at [http://www.ujf-grenoble.fr/ Université Joseph Fourier] in Grenoble, France. | From 1996-2007 Samatey was a member of the Keiichi Namba Group, from 1996 at Matsushita Electric, from 1997 in the [http://www.fbs.osaka-u.ac.jp/labs/namba/npn/index.html ERATO Protonic Nanomachine Project], and from 2002 at [http://www.fbs.osaka-u.ac.jp/eng/labo/09a.html Osaka University], Japan.

:<table style="background: #d0ffd0;padding: 6px;"><tr><td>The “ID-Rod-Stretch” is an intrinsically disordered linker found in both FlgE and FlgG, the proteins that respectively make the hook and the distal rod of the bacterial flagellum. Experiments done in FlgE of ''Salmonella enterica'' and of ''Campylobacter jejuni'' reveal the role of the ID-Rod-Stretch in the formation and stability of the flagellar hook.

:<table style="background: #d0ffd0;padding: 6px;"><tr><td>The bacterial flagellar hook, which is made by the polymerization of multiple copies of FlgE protein, is a flexible segment connecting the flagellar filament to the motor. The structure presented in this article puts in evidence the complex web of interactions between FlgE molecules. These interactions stabilize the flagellar hook during its function as a universal joint.[[User:Fadel A.
