A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Abstract :

Actomyosin cytoskeleton and cell-matrix adhesions are the key elements determining cell morphogenesis. Transmembrane integrin adhesion receptors trigger the assembly of various types of associated actin-based structures, such as focal adhesions, filopodia, and podosomes. These structures are all force dependent and their dynamics and function are controlled by myosin-IIA-filaments in a differential manner. A feedback response from the integrin adhesions to the myosin IIA filaments is in part mediated by another essential cytoskeletal system, microtubules. Guanine nucleotide exchange factor GEF-H1 is trapped and inactivated by microtubules when they are coupled with integrin adhesions via KANK family proteins. Uncoupling microtubules from the integrin adhesions allows the release and activation of GEF-H1 followed by triggering Rho/ Rho kinase (ROCK) pathway, and thereby the assembly of myosin IIA filaments, which in turn remodel the adhesions. Another facet of focal adhesion function is the nucleation of centripetal growth of actin filament bundles (radial fibers), mediated by formin family regulators of actin polymerization. This process provides a mechanism for establishing left-right asymmetry in the course of actomyosin cytoskeleton self-organization. References: YH Tee et al. Nat Cell Biol. 2015, 17:445-457.
