Invadopodia: RhoC Runs Rings around Cofilin
Tumor cell invadopodia mediate degradation of matrix barriers. A new study now demonstrates that a ring of active RhoC focuses invadopodial protrusion and degradation by regulating cofilin activity.
متن کاملA Novel Spatiotemporal RhoC Activation Pathway Locally Regulates Cofilin Activity at Invadopodia
BACKGROUND RhoGTPases have been implicated in the regulation of cancer metastasis. Invasive carcinoma cells form invadopodia, F-actin-rich matrix-degrading protrusions that are thought to be important for tumor cell invasion and intravasation. Regulation of actin dynamics at invadopodial protrusions is crucial to drive invasion. This process requires the severing activity of cofilin to generate...
متن کاملAdhesion rings surround invadopodia and promote maturation
Invasion and metastasis are aggressive cancer phenotypes that are highly related to the ability of cancer cells to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM). At the cellular level, specialized actin-rich structures called invadopodia mediate focal matrix degradation by serving as exocytic sites for ECM-degrading proteinases. Adhesion signaling is likely to be a critical regulatory input to invadopodia...
متن کاملNew insights into protein secretion: TANGO1 runs rings around the COPII coat
In this issue, Liu et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201611088) and Raote et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608080) use super-resolution microscopy to visualize large COPII-coated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export carriers. Rings of TANGO1 surround COPII, implicating TANGO1 in organizing ER exit sites and in regulating COPII coat dynamics and geome...
متن کاملRings of controversy around benzene.
FLOW-CYTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS of cell DNA content or narrow-angle light scatter (NLS) can provide a basis for discriminating neoplastic from non-neoplastic cells by identifying differences in DNA content and cell size. Flow-cytometric analyses of many human neoplasms have been previously reported (Barlogie et at., 977, 1978) showing aneuploidy in 80-90% of non-lymphoid solid tumours and 4060% of...
