Purified Flagellin from Bacillus subtilis

FLA-BS, a ~32 kDa protein, is a flagellin isolated from the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis.

InvivoGen provides FLA-BS with two grades of purity:

  • FLA-BS was purified by acid hydrolysis, heating and ultrafiltration.
  • FLA-BS Ultrapure extracted by violent agitation and purified by different successive separation techniques. The purity of FLA-BS Ultrapure is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Flagellin, the principal component of the flagella present on many Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, is a proinflammatory molecule recognized by distinct types of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs); the surface localized Toll-like receptor (TLR5) [1] and the cytosolic NOD-like receptors (NLRs), NLRC4 and NAIP5 [2].

Extracellular flagellin is detected by TLR5 resulting in MyD88-mediated NF-κB activation, cytokine and nitric oxide production depending on the nature of the TLR5 signaling complex [3].

Intracellular flagellin is detected by NLRC4 (also known as IPAF) and NAIP5. Recognition by NLRC4 and NAIP5, leads to inflammasome assembly, triggering caspase-1 activation of IL-1β and IL-18.
