Abstract
The intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a useful model for general actin-based cell motility, because it recruits host actin and associated proteins for movement. Recent data have shown that these associated proteins include the Ena/VASP family of proteins and the actin-related proteins Arp2 and Arp3.
