Cell-free extract systems and the cytoskeleton: preparation of biochemical experiments for transmission electron microscopy.

Coughlin M , Brieher WM , Ohi R .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Cell-free systems can be used to reconstitute complex actin or microtubule-based phenomena. For example, a number of extracts support actin-dependent propulsion of Listeria monocytogenes, whereas Xenopus laevis extracts support formation of a microtubule-based meiotic spindle. Working in vitro opens these complex processes to biochemical dissection. Here, we describe methods to view these in vitro preparations by thin-section electron microscopy.
