| Method |
P.444 left column 2nd paragraph:"To determine retrograde flow rates, kymographs were drawn at the edge of cells where PA-GFP-actin [photoactivatable GFP-γ-actin] incorporation into the lamellipodia was clearly visible. Kymographs were drawn in as many regions of the cell as possible. Retrograde flow was measured by calculating the slope of a diagonal line that traced the rearward flow of incorporated PA-GFP-actin, representing the distance the actin traveled over time." |

P.437 right column bottom paragraph:"When [investigators] measured the retrograde flow speed of photoactivated actin originated from either pathway, [they] observed a significant difference in their rates. Actin from recycled lamellipodia filaments (87.9 ± 6.2 nm/s) moved 26% faster than actin from the cytosolic pool (69.9 ± 4.1 nm/s) (Figure 4A). This indicates that actin monomers from the two distinct sources [they] have identified may be targeted to different types of actin filaments within the lamellipodia network." |
