An experimental and computational study of the effect of ActA polarity on the speed of Listeria monocytogenes actin-based motility.
Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that moves within infected cells and spreads directly between cells by harnessing the cell's dendritic actin machinery. This motility is dependent on expression of a single bacterial surface protein, ActA, a constitutively active Arp2,3 activator...
