Actin in locomotion
y 1970, several ultrastructural studies reported that different cell types contained thin filaments, 50 Å in diameter, which resembled the actin filaments seen in muscle cells. Similar filaments were also observed in the growing tips of axons, where they formed a network or mesh along the periphery. By analogy, most scientists assumed these actin-like filaments would also be involved in contrac...

they move. Deadhesion/tail retraction may limit moveIntroduction ment rate in such cells. In weakly adhesive, fast moving Most animal cell types possess the capacity to move cells such as amoebae and white blood cells, the tail is over or through a substrate, and cell locomotion plays more rounded and this step is more efficient. Adhesion a key role in bothnormal physiology and disease.Certain ...
متن کاملChemotactic peptide modulation of actin assembly and locomotion in neutrophils
To determine the relationship between the state of actin polymerization in neutrophils and the formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-induced changes in the locomotive behavior of neutrophils, the mean rate of locomotion (mROL), the percent G-actin, and the relative F-actin content of neutrophils were determined. The mROL was quantified by analysis of the locomotion of individual cells; t...
متن کاملActin-binding protein requirement for cortical stability and efficient locomotion.
Three unrelated tumor cell lines derived from human malignant melanomas lack actin-binding protein (ABP), which cross-links actin filaments in vitro and connects these filaments to plasma membrane glycoproteins. The ABP-deficient cells have impaired locomotion and display circumferential blebbing of the plasma membrane. Expression of ABP in one of the lines after transfection restored transloca...
متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans spermatozoan locomotion: amoeboid movement with almost no actin
The pseudopods of Caenorhabditis elegans spermatozoa move actively causing some cells to translocate when the sperm are dissected into a low osmotic strength buffered salts solution. On time-lapse video tapes, pseudopodial projections can be seen moving at 20-45 micrometers/min from the tip to the base of the pseudopod. This movement occurs whether or not the cell is attached to a substrate. Tr...
