Actin Assembly and Phagocytosis in WT (AX2) and LW6 Transfected with GFP–Actin

The number of adhesion events observed for WT (AX2) or gβ − (LW6) is shown, in which (I) actin accumulated or was found enriched at cell–yeast adhesion sites and (II) yeast uptake followed. Experimental conditions were as in Fig. 7.
