Virus-Induced Cell Motility [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1998 ABSTRACT Many viruses induce profound changes in cell metabolism and function. Here we show that vaccinia virus induces two distinct forms of cell movement. Virus-induced cell migration was demonstrated by an in vitro wound healing assay in which infected cells migrated independently into the wound area while uninfected cells remained ...

Nature Communications, 2016 Establishment and maintenance of apico-basal polarity in epithelial organs needs to be tightly coupled with cell division. Here the authors show that the Rab35 GTPase tethers intracellular vesicles containing key apical determinants at the cleavage site,

Quantification of cell edge velocities and traction forces reveals distinct motility modules during cell spreading. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Actin-based cell motility and force generation are central to immune response, tissue development, and cancer metastasis, and understanding actin cytoskeleton regulation is a major goal of cell biologists.

Exopolysaccharide-independent social motility of Myxococcus xanthus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Social motility (S motility), the coordinated movement of large cell groups on agar surfaces, of Myxococcus xanthus requires type IV pili (TFP) and exopolysaccharides (EPS).

The Shape of Motile Cells [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 Motile cells - fan-like keratocytes, hand-shaped nerve growth cones, polygonal fibroblasts, to name but a few - come in different shapes and sizes. We discuss the origins of this diversity as well as what shape tells us about the physics and biochemistry underlying cell movement.

Coupling fission and exit of RAB6 vesicles at Golgi hotspots through kinesin-myosin interactions
Nature Communications, 2017 Actin and microtubules play important roles in Golgi structure and function but how they are connected is poorly understood. Here the authors show that KIF20A is involved in the fission process and, in association with Myosin II, serves to anchor RAB6 on

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2012 Taxanes are potent inhibitors of cell motility, a property implicated in their antiangiogenic and antimetastatic activity and unrelated to their antiproliferative effect. The molecular mechanism of this anti-motility activity is poorly understood.

SIK2 promotes ovarian cancer cell motility and metastasis by phosphorylating MYLK
Molecular Oncology, 2022 Salt‐inducible kinase 2 (SIK2; also known as serine/threonine‐protein kinase SIK2) is overexpressed in several cancers and has been implicated in cancer progression.
