โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

The polymerization of globular actin to fibrous actin which occurs when sperm are activated, was not inhibited by cytochalasinโ€B. The acrosomal filaments and its component actin filaments formed in the presence of cytochalasinโ€B; and once formed, the actin filaments did not depolymerize when exposed to cytochalasinโ€B.

## Abstract The presence of cytochalasin A inhibits the selfโ€assembly of beef brain tubulin and rabbit muscle Gโ€actin in vitro and also decreases the colchicine binding of tubulin. Prior reaction of cytochalasin A with 2โ€mercaptoethanol destroys its inhibitory effects. It is shown that cytochalasin

Mounting evidence supports the role of truncated vinculin in the intracellular actin-based motility of Shigella flexneri . Vinculin's role was recently questioned by Goldberg [1997: Cell Motil Cytoskeleton 37:44 -53] who observed Shigella motility in mouse embryonal carcinoma 5.51 cells, a genetical
