Growth cone advance is inversely proportional to retrograde F-actin flow
In a previous study, F-actin appeared to play a key role in guiding microtubules during growth cone-target interactions. Here, F-actin flow patterns were assessed to investigate the relationship among F-actin flow, microtubule/organelle protrusion, and rates of outgrowth. We first demonstrated conditions in which surface markers (beads) moved at the same rate as underlying F-actin. These beads ...
متن کاملMyosin Drives Retrograde F-Actin Flow in Neuronal Growth Cones
Actin filaments assembled at the leading edge of neuronal growth cones are centripetally transported via retrograde F-actin flow, a process fundamental to growth cone guidance and other forms of directed cell motility. Here we investigated the role of myosins in retrograde flow, using two distinct modes of myosin inhibition: microinjection of NEM inactivated myosin S1 fragments, or treatment wi...
متن کاملQuality Is Inversely Proportional to Potential
Quality and methods for measuring quality are important for all software, especially for those that are meant to be reused. Two factors constitute the quality of a software product: (1) Whether the product correctly meets its speciication and (2) whether the product is \well engineered ." Intuitively, a well-engineered component is one that is easy to comprehend, maintain, or modify. Software e...
متن کاملVinculin–actin interaction couples actin retrograde flow to focal adhesions, but is dispensable for focal adhesion growth
In migrating cells, integrin-based focal adhesions (FAs) assemble in protruding lamellipodia in association with rapid filamentous actin (F-actin) assembly and retrograde flow. How dynamic F-actin is coupled to FA is not known. We analyzed the role of vinculin in integrating F-actin and FA dynamics by vinculin gene disruption in primary fibroblasts. Vinculin slowed F-actin flow in maturing FA t...
متن کاملRho-Dependent Contractile Responses in the Neuronal Growth Cone Are Independent of Classical Peripheral Retrograde Actin Flow
Rho family GTPases have been implicated in neuronal growth cone guidance; however, the underlying cytoskeletal mechanisms are unclear. We have used multimode fluorescent speckle microscopy (FSM) to directly address this problem. We report that actin arcs that form in the transition zone are incorporated into central actin bundles in the C domain. These actin structures are Rho/Rho Kinase (ROCK)...
