Abstract
The reconstitution of microbial rocketing motility in vitro with purified proteins has recently established definitively that no myosin motor is required for protrusion. Instead, actin polymerization, in conjunction with a small number of proteins, is sufficient. A dendritic pattern of nucleation controlled by the Arp2/3 complex provides an efficient pushing force for lamellipodial motility.Entities:
