Contact Angle at the Leading Edge Controls Cell Protrusion Rate
Plasma membrane tension and the pressure generated by actin polymerization are two antagonistic forces believed to define the protrusion rate at the leading edge of migrating cells [1-5]. Quantitatively, resistance to actin protrusion is a product of membrane tension and mean local curvature (Laplace's law); thus, it depends on the local geometry of the membrane interface. However, the role of ...
متن کاملContact guidance requires spatial control of leading-edge protrusion
In vivo, geometric cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) are critical for the regulation of cell shape, adhesion, and migration. During contact guidance, the fibrillar architecture of the ECM promotes an elongated cell shape and migration along the fibrils. The subcellular mechanisms by which cells sense ECM geometry and translate it into changes in shape and migration direction are not unde...
متن کاملCdc42-dependent formation of the ZO-1/MRCKβ complex at the leading edge controls cell migration.
Zonula occludens (ZO)-1 is a multi-domain scaffold protein known to have critical roles in the establishment of cell-cell adhesions and the maintenance of stable tissue structures through the targeting, anchoring, and clustering of transmembrane adhesion molecules and cytoskeletal proteins. Here, we report that ZO-1 directly binds to MRCKβ, a Cdc42 effector kinase that modulates cell protrusion...

متن کاملWeak force stalls protrusion at the leading edge of the lamellipodium.
Protrusion, the first step of cell migration, is driven by actin polymerization coupled to adhesion at the cell's leading edge. Polymerization and adhesive forces have been estimated, but the net protrusion force has not been measured accurately. We arrest the leading edge of a moving fish keratocyte with a hydrodynamic load generated by a fluid flow from a micropipette. The flow arrests protru...
