Investigating circular dorsal ruffles through varying substrate stiffness and mathematical modeling.
Circular dorsal ruffles (CDRs) are transient actin-rich ringlike structures that form on the dorsal surface of growth-factor stimulated cells. However, the dynamics and mechanism of formation of CDRs are still unknown. It has been observed that CDR formation leads to stress fibers disappearing near the CDRs. Because stress fiber formation can be modified by substrate stiffness, we examined the ...
متن کاملARAP1 regulates the ring size of circular dorsal ruffles through Arf1 and Arf5
Small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) regulate membrane traffic and actin reorganization under the strict control of GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). ARAP1 (Arf GAP with Rho GAP domain, ankyrin repeat, and PH domain 1) is an Arf GAP molecule with multiple PH domains that recognize phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. We found that growth factor stimulati...
متن کاملGet off my back! Rapid receptor internalization through circular dorsal ruffles.
Internalization and subsequent trafficking of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play an important role in the modulation of growth factor-stimulated signaling events that affect different cellular processes, from cell growth and mitosis to motility and invasion. The intracellular transport of these receptors has traditionally been viewed as being initiated via clathrin-coated pits. However, nonc...
متن کاملRegulation of circular dorsal ruffles, macropinocytosis, and cell migration by RhoG and its exchange factor, Trio
Circular dorsal ruffles (CDRs) are actin-rich structures that form on the dorsal surface of many mammalian cells in response to growth factor stimulation. CDRs represent a unique type of structure that forms transiently and only once upon stimulation. The formation of CDRs involves a drastic rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, which is regulated by the Rho family of GTPases. So far, only Rac1 ha...
متن کاملFronts and waves of actin polymerization in a bistability-based mechanism of circular dorsal ruffles
During macropinocytosis, cells remodel their morphologies for the uptake of extracellular matter. This endocytotic mechanism relies on the collapse and closure of precursory structures, which are propagating actin-based, ring-shaped vertical undulations at the dorsal (top) cell membrane, a.k.a. circular dorsal ruffles (CDRs). As such, CDRs are essential to a range of vital and pathogenic proces...
