Cell motility: Bare bones of the cytoskeleton
Laura M. Machesky1 & John A. Cooper2
Movement is a fundamental feature of living organisms and, on a molecular level, the mechanism of cell movement is highly complex. So it comes as an exciting surprise that Carlier and colleagues (page 613 of this issue1) have dissected out a handful of proteins essential for reconstituting the motility of a bacterial propulsion system.
