Role of the WASP family proteins for <i>Mycobacterium marinum</i> actin tail formation

30 Sept 2005

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium marinum, a natural pathogen of fish and frogs and an occasional pathogen of humans, is capable of inducing actin tail formation within the cytoplasm of macrophages, leading to actin-based motility and intercellular spread. Actin tail formation by M. marinum is markedly reduced in macrophages deficient in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), which still contain the closely related and...
