Integrins outside focal adhesions transmit tensions during stable cell adhesion
Integrins coupled with other proteins form protein complexes named focal adhesions (FA) which are considered as the primary sites for cellular forces transduction during cell stable adhesion. Cell traction forces transmitted by FAs and integrin tensions inside FAs have been extensively studied. However, it remains unknown whether integrins outside FAs can transmit tension, and if so, what is th...
متن کاملCell adhesion: parallels between vertebrate and invertebrate focal adhesions
Recent studies highlight the striking similarity between vertebrate focal adhesion plaques and Caenorhabditis elegans muscle adhesion structures and position LIM domain proteins as central players at focal adhesions.
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase-dependent focal adhesion recruitment of SH2 domains directs SRC into focal adhesions to regulate cell adhesion and migration
Directed cell migration requires dynamical control of the protein complex within focal adhesions (FAs) and this control is regulated by signaling events involving tyrosine phosphorylation. We screened the SH2 domains present in tyrosine-specific kinases and phosphatases found within FAs, including SRC, SHP1 and SHP2, and examined whether these enzymes transiently target FAs via their SH2 domain...
متن کاملFocal adhesions
What are they? Focal adhesions are the anchor points of the cell. These dynamic cytoskeletal structures are regions where the cell membrane firmly attaches to the extracellular matrix or the substratum. At the same time, focal adhesions provide scaffolding; they associate with an elaborate actin network inside the cell. Importantly, it’s now known that focal adhesions also act as communication ...
متن کاملTalin Dependent Mechanosensitivity of Cell Focal Adhesions
A fundamental question in mechanobiology is how mechanical stimuli are sensed by mechanosensing proteins and converted into signals that direct cells to adapt to the external environment. A key function of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) is to transduce mechanical forces between cells and their extracellular environment. Talin, a cytoplasmic adapter essential for integrin-mediat...
