Stress fibers

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Cellular strain avoidance is mediated by a functional actin cap – observations in an Lmna-deficient cell model
    Chiara Tamiello, Maurice Halder, Miriam A. F. Kamps, Frank P. T. Baaijens, Jos L. V. Broers, Carlijn V. C. Bouten
    Journal of Cell Science 2017 130: 779-790; doi: 10.1242/jcs.184838

    Summary: The strain avoidance response of cells lacking a functional actin cap, such as in Lmna-deficient cells, is impaired. This suggests a crucial role for the actin cap in strain responsiveness.

  • COMMENTARY
    The inner workings of stress fibers − from contractile machinery to focal adhesions and back
    Ariel Livne, Benjamin Geiger
    Journal of Cell Science 2016 129: 1293-1304; doi: 10.1242/jcs.180927

    Summary: Ventral stress fibers play a key role in cellular mechanosensitivity. We discuss here fundamental questions regarding their structure, force-dependent assembly and force generation capacity.

  • COMMENTARY
    Caveolae – mechanosensitive membrane invaginations linked to actin filaments
    Asier Echarri, Miguel A. Del Pozo
    Journal of Cell Science 2015 128: 2747-2758; doi: 10.1242/jcs.153940

    Summary: Caveolae and stress fibers are two essential players in the cell response to mechanical forces. The physical association of these two mechanosensors could ensure a coordinated response during mechanotransduction.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    FHOD1 regulates stress fiber organization by controlling the dynamics of transverse arcs and dorsal fibers
    Nina Schulze, Melanie Graessl, Alexandra Blancke Soares, Matthias Geyer, Leif Dehmelt, Perihan Nalbant
    Journal of Cell Science 2014 127: 1379-1393; doi: 10.1242/jcs.134627
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Vinculin tension distributions of individual stress fibers within cell–matrix adhesions
    Ching-Wei Chang, Sanjay Kumar
    Journal of Cell Science 2013 126: 3021-3030; doi: 10.1242/jcs.119032
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    FHOD1 is a combined actin filament capping and bundling factor that selectively associates with actin arcs and stress fibers
    André Schönichen, Hans Georg Mannherz, Elmar Behrmann, Antonina J. Mazur, Sonja Kühn, Unai Silván, Cora-Ann Schoenenberger, Oliver T. Fackler, Stefan Raunser, Leif Dehmelt, Matthias Geyer
    Journal of Cell Science 2013 126: 1891-1901; doi: 10.1242/jcs.126706
