Actin in chemotaxis

Cells expressing GFP-actin are observed as they were chemotaxing towards a micropipette filled with cAMP. The tip of the pipette is moved into different positions as indicated. Images were captured every 18 seconds. From K. Barisic, M. Ecke, C. Heizer, M. Maniak, M. Westphal, R. Albrecht, G. Gerisch, Max-Planck-Institut fur Biochemie, Martinsried, Germany.

 

Coronin in chemotaxis 

Cells expressing GFP-coronin are observed as they were chemotaxing towards a micropipette filled with cAMP. The tip of the pipette is moved into different positions as indicated. Images were captured every 10 seconds. From K. Barisic, M. Ecke, C. Heizer, M. Maniak, M. Westphal, R. Albrecht, G. Gerisch, Max-Planck-Institut fur Biochemie, Martinsried, Germany.

 

Tubulin in random movement 

Cells expressing GFP-tubulin are observed during non-oriented cell migration. Images were captured every 20 seconds. From E.L. de Hostos,  UCSF, and J. Sabry, Cytokinetics, Inc., South San Francisco.
