In bacteria the HNOB domain occurs either as a standalone version or fused to the HAMP and methyl accepting domains of chemotaxis receptors.
For example, in their analysis of bacterial chemotaxis, Leibler and colleagues (Barkai and Leibler 1997) found a particular model to be extremely robust in the production of an important behavior (exact signal adaptation), and subsequently showed that bacteria do indeed exhibit such robust adaptation (Alon et al.
In this regard, inhibition of p38 MAP kinase activity has been reported to block chemotaxis and TNF-α release by lung neutrophils, epithelial cells and eosinophils [ 40 41 42 ] . Interestingly, significant phospho-p38 MAP kinase was also detected in neutrophils from control animals.
This model is consistent with the recent report that MHCK-A displays enrichment into anterior F-actin-rich protrusions of polarized cells during chemotaxis, and into phagocytic and macropinocytotic extensions [ 23 ] . The polar localization of MHCK-A would be consistent with the long-standing "polar relaxation" model for cytoskeletal reorganization during cytokinesis [ 33 ] . MHCK-A may represent a factor that contributes to polar relaxation in this system via polar disassembly of myosin II filaments.
Because tissues treated with cCAF have more FN and TN at the time that these cells are entering the wound and chemokines are well known for their chemoattractant properties [ 34 35 ] , we tested whether cCAF stimulates chemotaxis of fibroblasts using transwell assays.
