- W2003160871 abstract "The time course for the build-up and decay of birefringence induced by a rectangular voltage pulse was measured on solutions of flagellar filaments from Salmonella equi-abortus (strain SJ25). These filaments are tubular polymers of protein (degree of polymerization ≈ 103) constituted by non-covalent linkage of flagellin monomers of molecular weight 4 × 104. The effect on electro-optical properties of solutions of filaments due to variations in temperature, concentration and mean length of protein filaments, and the duration and intensity of the applied electric field is described. Analysis of the field intensity dependence of the birefringence and comparison of the build-up and decay processes indicate that orientation in the field is due primarily to the existence of a permanent dipole moment in the filaments. At 18 °C the following values were obtained for a solution of filaments with mean length and standard deviation of 0.39 and 0.30 μm: specific Kerr constant (Ksp) = 6.14 × 10−3 electrostatic units; optical anisotropy factor (g1 — g2) = 5.66 × 10−3; dipole moment (μ) = 1.01 × 105 Debye units; and mean relaxation time (̄gt) = 9.20 ms. At temperatures below 20 °C there is a marked increase in the optical anisotropy factor of the filaments which may be due to a change in their flexibility. The large values of Ksp obtained indicate the highly responsive nature of these filaments to an electric field. The birefringence decay curves were decomposed by computer into a specified number of exponential terms from which both the mean length and the size distribution of these polydisperse filaments were calculated. The results obtained were in substantial agreement with the values of these parameters observed by electron microscopy. A cumulative field effect dependent on field intensity and filament concentration was observed. Repeated pulsing of electric field, above threshold values of field intensity and filament concentration, produced decreases in the birefringence near 60% of its initial value. The effect was reversible with a time constant greater than two minutes. No appreciable change in the relaxation time for decay of birefringence was observed on multiple pulsing of these solutions. These results are interpreted consistently to arise from the sidewise aggregation of filaments induced by electrical impulses of sufficient intensity and duration. These properties appear relevant to bacterial motility: variations in electric potential along the membrane of the bacterium might serve first to orient these organelles and then to induce their coalescence to “bundles” of filaments. The latter structures are commonly observed in vivo. In this way the activity of flagella might be co-ordinated." @default.
