cAMP chemotaxis of AX2 wild type cell expressing GFP-FLN. Dictyostelium AX2 cells were incubated in starvation buffer for 6–8 hrs and images were captured early in the streaming process. The cells had become polarized and directional movement was observed. The GFP-FLN probe is absent from the broad leading lamellae of the chemotaxing cell but is localized to the lateral and rear cortical regions.

Simultaneous localization of GFP-FLN (green) and mRFP-αA (red) in a polarized cell. An AX2 cell was imaged while chemotaxing up a cAMP gradient. The image clearly shows the differential location of filamin (red) and α-actinin (green) when the cell is polarized. Filamin localizes to the rear of the cell in the cortical area, and α-actinin localizes to the front of the cell and new protrusions, one of which becomes the leading edge of the cell.
