Cover photograph (Copyright © 2012, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.): A member of the evolutionarily conserved LMBR1 domain, nine-span membrane protein family lining an endocytic cup of a growing Dictyostelium discoideum cell. Polymerized F-actin is stained with phalloidin (green) and the LMBR1 domain protein is stained with antibody (red). Loss of this LMBR1 domain protein results in defects in chemotaxis.
