Lessons from Listeria | Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
While Listeria can move by means of flagella, this is not the primary means of movement at host body temperatures. Instead, the bacteria use host actin filaments to transport themselves …
The cell biology of Listeria monocytogenes infection
Listeria monocytogenes has emerged as a remarkably tractable pathogen to dissect basic aspects of cell biology, intracellular pathogenesis, and innate and acquired immunity.
Actin filaments and the growth, movement, and spread of the ...
The Listeria "comet" moves to the cell surface with its tail oriented towards the cell center and becomes incorporated into a cell extension with the Listeria at the tip of the process and its tail …
Interactions of Listeria monocytogenes with mammalian cells …
Marchand J. B., Moreau P., Paoletti A., Cossart P., Carlier M. F., Pantaloni D. Actin-based movement of Listeria monocytogenes: actin assembly results from the local maintenance of …

Arrest of Listeria movement in host cells by a bacterial ActA …
May 5, 1994 · Upon entering the host cell's cytoplasm, the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can subvert the normal contractile system of the host cell; subsequent assembly of polar actin …
Listeria comet tails: the actin-based motility machinery at work
In this review, we discuss current models of pseudopodial protrusions and describe how the road to more complex models lies open and is already paved by recent studies using Listeria …
