Abstract excerpt
Within infected eukaryotic cells the two pathogenic Listeria species, L. monocytogenes and L. ivanovii, induce polymerization of cellular actin and the formation of a propulsive actin tail at one bacterial pole. For L. monocytogenes it has been shown that the product of the listerial actA gene is required for this process which is regarded as a model for actin-based motility. We have now cloned and sequenced a...
