Figure 1. — Fast disassembly of Listeria actin comet tails requires cellular factors. (A) Frames from a time-lapse sequence showing the slow decay of comet tails diluted into latrunculin. (B) Time-lapse images of a Listeria comet tail in thymus extract. Frames in A and B are 30 s apart. (C) Actin intensity decay profiles of comet tails in latrunculin or thymus extract. Each point is the normalized mean of at least 30 comet tails from two experiments. (D and E) Apparent disassembly rates of comet tails in thymus extract (D) or pure cofilin alone (E). Mean ± SD (error bars); n = 3 experiments/point. Bar, 10 μm.
