Journal ArticleDOI

Intracellular pathogenesis of listeriosis.

TL;DR: Listeria monocytogenes, an aerobic and facultatively anaerobic gram-positive bacillus, can be readily isolated from soil, dust, fertilizer, sewage, stream water, plants, and even processed foods stored at 4°C and is present in the intestinal tract of numerous mammals, birds, fish, and crustaceans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Profilin promotes barbed-end actin filament assembly without lowering the critical concentration.

TL;DR: It is indicated that profilin serves as a polymerization catalyst that captures actin monomers from Thymosin-β4·Actin and ushers actin as a Profilin· actin complex onto growing barbed filament ends.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clamped-filament elongation model for actin-based motors.

TL;DR: A new mechanochemical model for force generation by means of affinity-modulated, clamped-filament elongation, which exploits actin's intrinsic ATPase activity to provide a simple, high-fidelity enzymatic reaction cycle for force production that does not require elongating filaments to dissociate from the motile surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Force Generation by Cytoskeletal Filament End-Tracking Proteins

TL;DR: An additional cofactor-assisted end-tracking motor is described to account for suggested roles of cofactors in the affinity-modulated interactions, such as profilin in actin-filament end- Tracking motors and EB1 in microtubule end- tracking motors.
