| | Cell Dynamics / Günther Gerisch |
 | | The group is focussing on the regulation of actin dynamics in cell motility, phagocytosis, and cytokinesis. |
 | | Proteins are tagged with GFP to visualize, in Dictyostelium cells, their recruitment from the cytoplasm to active sites in the cell cortex, either in response to external signals or as a result of cell-autonomous local assembly. |
 | | Cytoskeleton and associated proteins: (7) GFP-actin in a cell growing on bacteria, showing actin accumulation in cell-surface projections and phagocytic cups; (8) GFP-Arp3 representing localization of the Arp2/3 complex, which is recruited to cell-surface extensions and to late, neutral endosomes. |
