Cytoskeleton

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The cytoskeleton regulates symmetry transitions in moving amoeboid cells
    Peter J. M. van Haastert, Ineke Keizer-Gunnink, Arjan Kortholt
    J Cell Sci 2018 131: jcs208892 doi: 10.1242/jcs.208892 Published 9 April 2018

    Summary: Dynamic shape changes of amoeboid cells are far from random, but are the consequence of refined symmetries and symmetry changes that are orchestrated by small G-proteins and the cytoskeleton.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Phosphorylation hotspot in the C-terminal domain of occludin regulates the dynamics of epithelial junctional complexes
    Bhargavi Manda, Hina Mir, Ruchika Gangwar, Avtar S. Meena, Shrunali Amin, Pradeep K. Shukla, Kesha Dalal, Takuya Suzuki, RadhaKrishna Rao
    J Cell Sci 2018 131: jcs206789 doi: 10.1242/jcs.206789 Published 6 April 2018

    Summary: A conserved sequence in occludin determines the dynamic property of tight junctions and adherens junctions in the renal and intestinal epithelia, and regulates collective cell migration.

  • REVIEW
    How cells sense their own shape – mechanisms to probe cell geometry and their implications in cellular organization and function
    Armin Haupt, Nicolas Minc
    J Cell Sci 2018 131: jcs214015 doi: 10.1242/jcs.214015 Published 26 March 2018

    Summary: We discuss mechanisms on how cells read their own geometry, and the importance of these mechanisms in different physiological contexts.

  • SHORT REPORT
    Parallel assembly of actin and tropomyosin, but not myosin II, during de novo actin filament formation in live mice
    Andrius Masedunskas, Mark A. Appaduray, Christine A. Lucas, María Lastra Cagigas, Marco Heydecker, Mira Holliday, Joyce C. M. Meiring, Jeff Hook, Anthony Kee, Melissa White, Paul Thomas, Yingfan Zhang, Robert S. Adelstein, Tobias Meckel, Till Böcking, Roberto Weigert, Nicole S. Bryce, Peter W. Gunning, Edna C. Hardeman
    J Cell Sci 2018 131: jcs212654 doi: 10.1242/jcs.212654 Published 19 March 2018

    Summary: De novo assembly of functional actin–tropomyosin filaments in live rodents is investigated. Unlike non-muscle myosin II, tropomyosin is added to the actin filament shortly after nucleation.

  • TOOLS AND RESOURCES
    Rapid production of pure recombinant actin isoforms in Pichia pastoris
    Tomoyuki Hatano, Salvatore Alioto, Emanuele Roscioli, Saravanan Palani, Scott T. Clarke, Anton Kamnev, Juan Ramon Hernandez-Fernaud, Lavanya Sivashanmugam, Bernardo Chapa-Y-Lazo, Alexandra M. E. Jones, Robert C. Robinson, Karuna Sampath, Masanori Mishima, Andrew D. McAinsh, Bruce L. Goode, Mohan K. Balasubramanian
    J Cell Sci 2018 : jcs.213827 doi: 10.1242/jcs.213827 Published 13 March 2018
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Tension-dependent regulation of mammalian Hippo signaling through LIMD1
    Consuelo Ibar, Elmira Kirichenko, Benjamin Keepers, Edward Enners, Katelyn Fleisch, Kenneth D. Irvine
    J Cell Sci 2018 131: jcs214700 doi: 10.1242/jcs.214700 Published 2 March 2018

    Highlighted Article: The mechanism through which YAP activity is regulated by tension at adherens junctions is demonstrated, which helps explain why cell proliferation is inhibited by high cell density and why Rho activity suppresses Hippo signaling.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    MARCKS-related protein regulates cytoskeletal organization at cell–cell and cell–substrate contacts in epithelial cells
    Christina M. Van Itallie, Amber Jean Tietgens, Angel Aponte, Marjan Gucek, Alexander X. Cartagena-Rivera, Richard S. Chadwick, James M. Anderson
    J Cell Sci 2018 131: jcs210237 doi: 10.1242/jcs.210237 Published 2 February 2018

    Highlighted Article: Deletion of MRP in epithelial cells resulted in dramatic changes in the organization of multiple actin-based structures, likely by regulation of integrin signaling.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A functional analysis of TOEFAZ1 uncovers protein domains essential for cytokinesis in Trypanosoma brucei
    Amy N. Sinclair-Davis, Michael R. McAllaster, Christopher L. de Graffenried
    J Cell Sci 2017 130: 3918-3932; doi: 10.1242/jcs.207209

    Summary: Analysis of TOEFAZ1, an essential kinetoplastid-specific cytokinetic protein, identifies the function of individual domains and implicates the protein in the positioning and timing of T. brucei cleavage furrow ingression.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Premature termination codon readthrough in human cells occurs in novel cytoplasmic foci and requires UPF proteins
    Jieshuang Jia, Elisabeth Werkmeister, Sara Gonzalez-Hilarion, Catherine Leroy, Dieter C. Gruenert, Frank Lafont, David Tulasne, Fabrice Lejeune
    J Cell Sci 2017 130: 3009-3022; doi: 10.1242/jcs.198176

    Summary: The cytoskeleton transports premature termination codon-containing mRNAs to be degraded by nonsense-mediated decay or to be read through in specific cytoplasmic foci called readthrough bodies.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Loss of β-PIX inhibits focal adhesion disassembly and promotes keratinocyte motility via myosin light chain activation
    Sho Hiroyasu, Gregory P. Stimac, Susan B. Hopkinson, Jonathan C. R. Jones
    J Cell Sci 2017 130: 2329-2343; doi: 10.1242/jcs.196147

    Highlighted Article: Unexpectedly, β-PIX loss in keratinocytes increases the migration speed of single cells and promotes collective cell migration during wound repair by promoting actomyosin fiber contraction.
