Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin assembly drives microtubule-independent motility and phagocytosis in the evolutionarily divergent amoeba <i>Naegleria</i>

2020-05-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Much of our current understanding of actin-driven phenotypes in eukaryotes has come from the “yeast to human” opisthokont lineage, as well as the related amoebozoa. Outside of these groups lies the genus Naegleria , which shared a common ancestor with humans over a billion years ago, and includes the deadly “brain-eating amoeba.” Unlike nearly every other known eukaryotic cell type, Naegleria...
