Abstract excerpt
We examined the role of the actin cytoskeleton in secretion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the use of several quantitative assays, including time-lapse video microscopy of cell surface growth in individual living cells. In latrunculin, which depolymerizes filamentous actin, cell surface growth was completely depolarized but still occurred, albeit at a reduced level. Thus, filamentous actin is necessary for...
