Three-dimensional architecture of actin filaments in Listeria monocytogenes comet tails. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013
The intracellular bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is capable of remodelling the actin cytoskeleton of its host cells such that "comet tails" are assembled powering its movement within cells and enabling cell-to-cell spread.

Investigating the Composition of Listeria actin Comet Tails [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Several intracellular bacterial pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), can colonizethe cytosol of host cells during infection. Cytosolic Lm then hijacks the host cells’ actin polymerization machinery using ActA to recruit the host Arp2/3 ...

Palladin Compensates for the Arp2/3 Complex and Supports Actin Structures during Listeria Infections

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Palladin is an important component of motile actin-rich structures and nucleates branched actin filament arrays in vitro. Here we examine the role of palladin during Listeria monocytogenes infections in order to tease out novel functions of palladin.

Estimation of the applied doses in irradiated anchovy and bluefish for shelf-life extension using image analysis in combination with DNA comet assay

open access: yesFood Materials Research, 2023
The objective of the present study was to estimate applied doses of irradiated anchovy (1.83−4.22 kGy) and bluefish (1.98−5.40 kGy) for shelf-life extension by using image analysis in combination with comet assay for trading irradiated fish, especially ...

Assessing the genotoxicity of oral titanium dioxide nanoparticle administration in male rats using micronuclei and comet assay [PDF]

open access: yesFayoum Journal of Agricultural Research and Development, 2023
This study evaluated the toxic effects of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) on rats that received oral administration of TiO2-NPs with a particle size of 15±2nm once daily at doses of 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 300mg/kg for ten weeks.

Tails of Comets [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1870
IN NATURE of 16th December, Prof. Tait advances the opinion that the tail of a comet consists of nothing but meteorites; mentioning in proof of this that the orbits of the August and November meteors have been determined, and found to be identical with those of two known comets. I do not question the importance of this most remarkable fact, but I think

Stochastic modeling for the COMET-assay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We present a stochastic model for single cell gel electrophoresis (COMET-assay) data. Essential is the use of point process structures, renewal theory and reduction to intensity histograms for further data ...

Standardizing electrophoresis conditions: how to eliminate a major source of error in the comet assay.

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2015
In the alkaline comet assay, cells are embedded in agarose, lysed, and then subjected to further processing including electrophoresis at high pH (>13). We observed very large variations of mean comet tail lengths of cell samples from the same population ...

Actin filament attachments for sustained motility in vitro are maintained by filament bundling. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
We reconstructed cellular motility in vitro from individual proteins to investigate how actin filaments are organized at the leading edge. Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy of actin filaments, we tested how profilin, Arp2/3, and ...
