Adhesion controls bacterial actin polymerization-based movement.
As part of its infectious life cycle, the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes propels itself through the host-cell cytoplasm by triggering the polymerization of host-cell actin near the bacterial surface, harnessing the activity of several cytoskeletal proteins used during actin-based cell crawling. To distinguish among several classes of biophysical models of actin-based bacterial moveme...
متن کاملDynamic movement of actin-like proteins within bacterial cells.
Actin proteins are present in pro- and eukaryotes, and have been shown to perform motor-like functions in eukaryotic cells in a variety of processes. Bacterial actin homologues are essential for cell viability and have been implicated in the formation of rod cell shape, as well as in segregation of plasmids and whole chromosomes. We have generated functional green fluorescent protein fusions of...
متن کاملBacterial nucleators: actin' on actin.
The actin cytoskeleton is a key target of numerous microbial pathogens, including protozoa, fungi, bacteria and viruses. In particular, bacterial pathogens produce and deliver virulence effector proteins that hijack actin dynamics to enable bacterial invasion of host cells, allow movement within the host cytosol, facilitate intercellular spread or block phagocytosis. Many of these effector prot...
متن کاملAn Elmo–Dock complex locally controls Rho GTPases and actin remodeling during cadherin-mediated adhesion
Cell-cell contact formation is a dynamic process requiring the coordination of cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion and integrin-based cell migration. A genome-wide RNA interference screen for proteins required specifically for cadherin-dependent cell-cell adhesion identified an Elmo-Dock complex. This was unexpected as Elmo-Dock complexes act downstream of integrin signaling as Rac guanine-nucleo...
متن کاملMemo–RhoA–mDia1 signaling controls microtubules, the actin network, and adhesion site formation in migrating cells
Actin assembly at the cell front drives membrane protrusion and initiates the cell migration cycle. Microtubules (MTs) extend within forward protrusions to sustain cell polarity and promote adhesion site turnover. Memo is an effector of the ErbB2 receptor tyrosine kinase involved in breast carcinoma cell migration. However, its mechanism of action remained unknown. We report in this study that ...
