Osmotic stress-induced remodeling of the cortical cytoskeleton.
Osmotic stress is known to affect the cytoskeleton; however, this adaptive response has remained poorly characterized, and the underlying signaling pathways are unexplored. Here we show that hypertonicity induces submembranous de novo F-actin assembly concomitant with the peripheral translocation and colocalization of cortactin and the actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) complex, which are key c...
متن کاملFilling the GAPs in cell dynamics control: BPGAP1 promotes cortactin translocation to the cell periphery for enhanced cell migration.
Cells undergo dynamic changes in morphology or motility during cellular division and proliferation, differentiation, neuronal pathfinding, wound healing, apoptosis, host defense and organ development. These processes are controlled by signalling events relayed through cascades of protein interactions leading to the establishment and maintenance of cytoskeletal networks of microtubules and actin...
متن کاملA Critical Role for Cortactin Phosphorylation by Abl-Family Kinases in PDGF-Induced Dorsal-Wave Formation
Proper regulation of cell morphogenesis and migration by adhesion and growth-factor receptors requires Abl-family tyrosine kinases [1-3]. Several substrates of Abl-family kinase have been identified, but they are unlikely to mediate all of the downstream actions of these kinases on cytoskeletal structure. We used a human protein microarray to identify the actin-regulatory protein cortactin as a...
متن کاملGrowth factor induced activation of Rho and Rac GTPases and actin cytoskeletal reorganization in human lens epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To determine the involvement of the Rho GTPases-mediated signaling pathway in growth factor-stimulated actomyosin cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion formation in lens epithelial cells. METHODS Serum starved human lens epithelial cells (SRA01/04) were treated with different growth factors including epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic-fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), platele...
متن کاملA novel high-content analysis tool reveals Rab8-driven cytoskeletal reorganization through Rho GTPases, calpain and MT1-MMP.
Rab8 is a small Ras-related GTPase that regulates polarized membrane transport to the plasma membrane. Here, we developed a high-content analysis (HCA) tool to dissect Rab8-mediated actin and focal adhesion reorganization that revealed that Rab8 activation significantly induced Rac1 and Tiam1 to mediate cortical actin polymerization and RhoA-dependent stress fibre disassembly. Rab8 activation i...
