Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes
is a foodborne bacterium that causes gastroenteritis, meningitis, or abortion.
Listeria
induces its internalization (entry) into some human cells through interaction of the bacterial surface protein InlB with its host receptor, the Met tyrosine kinase. InlB and Met promote entry through stimulation of localized actin polymerization and exocytosis. How actin cytoskeletal changes and exocytosis are controlled during entry is not well understood.
