Use of fluorescently labelled deoxyribonuclease I to spatially measure G-actin levels in migrating and non-migrating cells.

Lamellipodium protrusion is linked to actin filament disassembly in migrating fibroblasts [Cramer, 1999: Curr. Biol. 9:1095-1105]. To further study this relationship, we have identified a method to specifically and sensitively detect G-actin in distinct spatial locations in motile cells using deoxyr...
