Actin depolymerisation and crosslinking join forces with myosin II to contract actin coats on fused secretory vesicles
In many secretory cells actin and myosin are specifically recruited to the surface of secretory granules following their fusion with the plasma membrane. Actomyosin-dependent compression of fused granules is essential to promote active extrusion of cargo. However, little is known about molecular mechanisms regulating actin coat formation and contraction. Here, we provide a detailed kinetic anal...
متن کاملActin-based propulsive forces and myosin-II-based contractile forces in migrating Dictyostelium cells.
It has been suggested that myosin II exerts traction forces at the posterior ends and retracting pseudopodia of migrating cells, but there is no direct evidence. Here, using a combination of total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy and force microscopy with a high spatial resolution of approximately 400 nm, we simultaneously recorded GFP-myosin II dynamics and traction forces un...
متن کاملActin coating and compression of fused secretory vesicles are essential for surfactant secretion--a role for Rho, formins and myosin II.
Secretion of vesicular contents by exocytosis is a fundamental cellular process. Increasing evidence suggests that post-fusion events play an important role in determining the composition and quantity of the secretory output. In particular, regulation of fusion pore dilation and closure is considered a key regulator of the post-fusion phase. However, depending on the nature of the cargo, additi...
متن کاملCompression forces generated by actin comet tails on lipid vesicles.
Polymerizing networks of actin filaments generate force for a variety of movements in living cells, including protrusion of filopodia and lamellipodia, intra- and intercellular motility of certain bacterial and viral pathogens, and motility of endocytic vesicles and other membrane-bound organelles. During actin-based motility, coexisting populations of actin filaments exert both pushing and ret...
متن کاملProbing polymerization forces by using actin-propelled lipid vesicles.
Actin polymerization provides a powerful propulsion force for numerous types of cell motility. Although tremendous progress has been made in identifying the biochemical components necessary for actin-based motility, the precise biophysical mechanisms of force generation remain unclear. To probe the polymerization forces quantitatively, we introduce an experimental system in which lipid vesicles...
