Microorganisms use their own motility apparatus to move in a variety of environments. The motility apparatus is a highly dynamic and robust protein complex containing motor proteins that convert electrochemical or chemical energy to mechanical action for movement. Because motor-protein complexes are under the control of complex sensory signal transduction networks, microorganisms can migrate towards environments favourable for survival and away from unfavourable environments. Furthermore, motor-protein complexes autonomously adjust their mechanical functions in response to environmental changes. In this symposium, we would like to discuss the molecular mechanisms behind these processes and to clarify the design principles common to seemingly diverse motility.
