Short Answer
The pathogen Listeria monocytogenes can hijack the actin cytoskeleton in human cells and spread inside the host. Indicate true (T) and false (F) statements below about this phenomenon. Your answer would be a four-letter string composed of letters T and F only; e.g. TTFF.
( ) The movement can be reconstituted in vitro by placing the bacteria in a mixture of actin, formin, gelsolin, and capping protein.
( ) Cofilin counteracts the movement by depolymerizing actin filaments.
( ) The actin filaments grow with their minus ends pointed toward the bacterium.
( ) The movement depends on myosin activity to transport the bacteria on the actin filaments.
