Vinculin, cell mechanics and tumour cell invasion.
The focal adhesion protein, vinculin, is important for transmitting mechanical forces and orchestrating mechanical signalling events. Deregulation of vinculin results in altered cell adhesion, contractility, motility and growth, all of which are important processes in cancer metastasis. This review summarises recent reports on the role of vinculin in cellular force generation and signalling, an...
متن کاملVinculin-cell membrane interactions.
Focal adhesions (FAs) are macromolecular complexes that connect the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix (ECM). These cell junctions are highly spatially organized yet dynamic organelles that transduce force from the actin cytoskeleton to transmembrane proteins known as integrins, which are heterodimers that bind to ECM components such as fibronectin, collagen, and laminin. The intrac...
متن کاملRab11 is required for maintenance of cell shape via βPS integrin mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila
In eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric GTPases of the Rab protein family. Rab11, (a subfamily of the Ypt/Rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric Rab GTPases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. In an earlier communication, we have shown th...
متن کاملIdentification of an actin binding surface on vinculin that mediates mechanical cell and focal adhesion properties.
Vinculin, a cytoskeletal scaffold protein essential for embryogenesis and cardiovascular function, localizes to focal adhesions and adherens junctions, connecting cell surface receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. While vinculin interacts with many adhesion proteins, its interaction with filamentous actin regulates cell morphology, motility, and mechanotransduction. Disruption of this interactio...
متن کاملTyrosine phosphorylation of vinculin at position 1065 modifies focal adhesion dynamics and cell tractions.
Focal adhesions (FAs) connect the cellular actin cytoskeleton via integrin with the extracellular matrix. They comprise of many structural and signaling proteins which are highly dynamic, well regulated, and responsible for the sensing of physical properties from the environment. Vinculin is a protein that incorporates all these functions. Here, we investigated the phosphorylation of Y1065 in t...
