Abstract: Cell shape and movement are largely driven by changes in the cytoskeletal protein actin. Bacteria such as Listeria, which subvert a cell's actin system for their own movement within a cell, are used to study those changes. This bacterial propulsion system has now been stripped down to its minimum requirements -- which, it turns out, are actin and a mere three other proteins
