Actin-associated protein palladin promotes tumor cell invasion by linking extracellular matrix degradation to cell cytoskeleton
Basal-like breast carcinomas, characterized by unfavorable prognosis and frequent metastases, are associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. During this process, cancer cells undergo cytoskeletal reorganization and up-regulate membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP; MMP14), which functions in actin-based pseudopods to drive invasion by extracellular matrix degradation. How...
متن کاملModulation of T cell signaling by the actin cytoskeleton.
The actin cytoskeleton provides a dynamic framework to support membrane organization and cellular signaling events. The importance of actin in T cell function has long been recognized to go well beyond the maintenance of cell morphology and transport of proteins. Over the past several years, our understanding of actin in T cell activation has expanded tremendously, in part owing to the developm...
متن کاملArginylation of beta-actin regulates actin cytoskeleton and cell motility.
Posttranslational arginylation is critical for mouse embryogenesis, cardiovascular development, and angiogenesis, but its molecular effects and the identity of proteins arginylated in vivo are unknown. We found that beta-actin was arginylated in vivo to regulate actin filament properties, beta-actin localization, and lamella formation in motile cells. Arginylation of beta-actin apparently repre...

متن کاملUnited we stand: integrating the actin cytoskeleton and cell-matrix adhesions in cellular mechanotransduction.
Many essential cellular functions in health and disease are closely linked to the ability of cells to respond to mechanical forces. In the context of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, the forces that are generated within the actin cytoskeleton and transmitted through integrin-based focal adhesions are essential for the cellular response to environmental clues, such as the spatial distr...
