A computer-assisted three-dimensional dynamic image analysis system (3D-DIAS) has been developed for reconstructing and motion analyzing living, crawling cells. The system simultaneously reconstructs the cell surface, the nucleus and pseudopodia, both expanding and retracting. Although this system h
An automated, video-driven system was used to measure approximately 30 parameters of cell motion and accompanying changes in shape. This "Dynamic Morphology System" is based upon the Expertvision Motion Analysis System and is driven by a SUN computer. With the aid of this system, amoebic movement an
The sperm of Caenorhabditis elegans translocate in a fashion similar to sperm of Ascaris suum even though their pseudopods are longer, more plastic in shape, and form multiple expansion zones around their perimeter. Mutants in spe-11 form primary spermatocytes with a defective perinuclear region, bu
Conversion of the three mapped threonine phosphorylation sites in the myosin II heavy chain tail to alanines results in a mutant (3XALA) in Dictyostelium discoideum, which displays constitutive myosin overassembly in the cytoskeleton and increased cortical tension. To assess the importance of myosin
