WRP Facilitates Filopodia Protrusion
Deformation of the plasma membrane—an early event in endocytosis and protrusion—is often produced by proteins containing BAR domains. These domains form curved structures that interact electrostatically with membrane lipids, causing the membrane to curve. Many such proteins also interact with proteins involved in regulation of actin polymerization, and thus they help to coordinate cytoskeletal ...
متن کاملCoordination of Membrane and Actin Cytoskeleton Dynamics during Filopodia Protrusion
Leading edge protrusion of migrating cells involves tightly coordinated changes in the plasma membrane and actin cytoskeleton. It remains unclear whether polymerizing actin filaments push and deform the membrane, or membrane deformation occurs independently and is subsequently stabilized by actin filaments. To address this question, we employed an ability of the membrane-binding I-BAR domain of...
متن کاملModelling the effect of myosin X motors on filopodia growth.
We present a numerical simulation study of the dynamics of filopodial growth in the presence of active transport by myosin X motors. We employ both a microscopic agent-based model, which captures the stochasticity of the growth process, and a continuum mean-field theory which neglects fluctuations. We show that in the absence of motors, filopodia growth is overestimated by the continuum mean-fi...
متن کاملMyosin-X induces filopodia by multiple elongation mechanism.
Filopodia are actin-rich finger-like cytoplasmic projections extending from the leading edge of cells. Unconventional myosin-X is involved in the protrusion of filopodia. However, the underlying mechanism of myosin-X-induced filopodia formation is obscure. Here, we studied the movements of myosin-X during filopodia protrusion using a total internal reflection microscope to clarify the mechanism...
متن کاملMyosin-X: a MyTH-FERM myosin at the tips of filopodia.
Myosin-X (Myo10) is an unconventional myosin with MyTH4-FERM domains that is best known for its striking localization to the tips of filopodia and its ability to induce filopodia. Although the head domain of Myo10 enables it to function as an actin-based motor, its tail contains binding sites for several molecules with central roles in cell biology, including phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisph...
