Examples of cable dynamics. (A) Translation of a single actin cable. The leading end is marked by an asterisk. Kymograph on the right was made by reslicing a one-pixel-wide line along the path (indicated by the blue dotted line in the 12-s time point) of the moving cable. Numbers on the right corners of the kymograph indicate the start time and end time. (B) Buckling of cables (marked by arrows). The two cables fused at the end of the sequence. (C) Whiplike bending of a cable bundle. Note the rotation of the marked (arrow) cable by nearly 180°. (D) Break in an apparently continuous cable (break position indicated by arrow). (E) Lateral translation of a cable bundle (asterisk) and incorporation into the medial ring (arrow). All images in this figure were obtained from TIRFM videos. Time points are given in seconds.
