Fig. 2. Localization of myosin-IE during phagocytosis. (A) Myosin-IE was observed to be associated with the phagocytic cup during the process of ingesting bits of other cells, and the early phagosome (see Movie 1 in supplementary material). (B) Phagocytosis of yeast cells (red) by D. discoideum amoeba. Myosin-IE associates with the phagocytic cup shortly after particle docking. It remains associated with the phagocytic cup during engulfment and dissociates from the phagosome within 2 minutes of completion of uptake. Bar, 3 µm.
