Involvement of tubulin and inhibitory G proteins in the interaction of Listeria monocytogenes with mouse hepatocytes.
Intracellular and cell-to-cell spread of Listeria monocytogenes has been considered exclusively actin dependent. By immunocytochemical techniques, we provide evidence for an involvement of inhibitory G proteins and tubulin in "comet tail" formation in L. monocytogenes-infected mouse hepatocytes.
