CAP
- F-BAR domain protein Syndapin regulates actomyosin dynamics during apical cap remodeling in syncytial Drosophila embryos
Summary: Syndapin, an F-BAR domain protein, regulates the transition from Arp2/3-dependent protrusion remodeling and cap expansion to actomyosin-dependent cap buckling in the Drosophila blastoderm embryo.
- Vinexin family (SORBS) proteins play different roles in stiffness-sensing and contractile force generation
Summary: Comparing the functions of vinexin family (SORBS) proteins reveals that vinexin-α and CAP regulate vinculin behavior depending on the stiffness of the extracellular matrix, while ArgBP2 plays a role in generating greater contractile forces.
- Srv2/CAP is required for polarized actin cable assembly and patch internalization during clathrin-mediated endocytosis
Summary: Srv2/CAP is required for efficient endocytosis owing to its role in the formation of the actin patches that aid in vesicle invagination and in the formation of the actin cables that these move along.
