The wily ways of a parasite: induction of actin assembly by Listeria
Trends Microbiol.
1993 Apr.
Abstract
The intracellular pathogen Listeria has a spectacular mode of transport within and between host cells. By inducing host cell actin to assemble from its surface, the bacterium forms a tail composed of many short, crossbridged actin filaments. With this tail Listeria is propelled across the cytoplasm like a comet streaking across the sky. Here we discuss the antics of Listeria and some of the bacterial genes instrumental in maintaining it in the host.
