Abstract

Spatially controlled polymerization of actin is at the origin of cell motility and is responsible for the formation of cellular protrusions like lamellipodia. The pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella flexneri , which undergo actin-based propulsion, are acknowledged models of the leading edge of lamellipodia. Actin-based motility of the bacteria or of functionalized microspheres can be reconstituted in vitro from only five pure proteins. Movement results from the regulated site-directed treadmilling of actin filaments, consistent with observations of actin dynamics in living motile cells and with the biochemical properties of the components of the synthetic motility medium.

3. Supplementary material is available as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on Science Online at www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/292/5521/1502/DC1. The compressed files are 30 Mb (∼60 Mb uncompressed) and must be downloaded. When viewed as a slide show (full screen) the presentation shows cell movements animated chemical reaction diagrams and animated graphs. The viewer will need to push the down arrow on the keyboard at least once per slide (and sometimes up to four times) to view all of the frames and to move to the next slide. When a slide comes into view please wait a few seconds; sometimes the animation begins automatically other times the viewer must press the down arrow.
