Mechanotransduction: Vinculin Provides Stability when Tension Rises
By beautiful imaging and state-of-the-art experiments, vinculin is established to be a central switch in mechanotransduction at integrin-based focal adhesions. Cycles of tension-regulated vinculin switching control focal adhesion dynamics and signaling to enable polarized cell migration and alignment.
متن کاملVinculin phosphorylation at Tyr1065 regulates vinculin conformation and tension development in airway smooth muscle tissues.
Vinculin localizes to membrane adhesion junctions in smooth muscle tissues, where its head domain binds to talin and its tail domain binds to filamentous actin, thus linking actin filaments to the extracellular matrix. Vinculin can assume a closed conformation, in which the head and tail domains bind to each other and mask the binding sites for actin and talin, and an open activated conformatio...
متن کاملRickettsia Sca4 Reduces Vinculin-Mediated Intercellular Tension to Promote Spread
Spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae are human pathogens that infect cells in the vasculature. They disseminate through host tissues by a process of cell-to-cell spread that involves protrusion formation, engulfment, and vacuolar escape. Other bacterial pathogens rely on actin-based motility to provide a physical force for spread. Here, we show that SFG species Rickettsia parkeri typically lac...
متن کاملS21-01. Tension and mechanotransduction in embryonic morphogenesis
We know a great deal about the mechanisms controlling common cellular processes, but still do not understand how cells communicate to ensure that they stretch in a coordinate manner. For instance, C. elegans embryonic morphogenesis relies on cell shape changes within the epidermis and on epidermis-muscles interactions. I will illustrate the importance of forces and tension during morphogenesis ...
متن کاملCellular Mechanotransduction Relies on Tension-Induced and Chaperone-Assisted Autophagy
Mechanical tension is an ever-present physiological stimulus essential for the development and homeostasis of locomotory, cardiovascular, respiratory, and urogenital systems. Tension sensing contributes to stem cell differentiation, immune cell recruitment, and tumorigenesis. Yet, how mechanical signals are transduced inside cells remains poorly understood. Here, we identify chaperone-assisted ...
