Abstract

Actin polymerization has been shown to be sufficient to propel curved objects, for example beads and vesicles coated with the Listeria monocytogenes protein ActA. Recent studies suggest that actin polymerization on flat surfaces can also provide the propulsive force to push them forward.

摘要

肌动蛋白聚合已被证明足以推动弯曲物体，例如包被有单核细胞增生李斯特菌蛋白ActA的珠子和囊泡。最近的研究表明，平面上的肌动蛋白聚合也能提供推进力，推动物体向前移动。
