Molecular and Cellular Function of the Listeria Monocytogenes Virulence Factor InlC
Several pathogenic bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes, use an F-actin-dependent motility process to spread between mammalian cells. Actin ‘comet tails’ propel Lm through the cytoplasm, resulting in bacteria-containing membrane protrusions that are internalized by neighboring cells. The mecha...
