Abstract excerpt
Phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) signaling is required for mesenchymal chemotaxis, but is it sufficient to bias motility? PLC-γ1 enzyme activity is basally autoinhibited, and light-controlled membrane recruitment of wild-type PLC-γ1 (OptoPLC-γ1) in Plcg1-null fibroblasts does not trigger lipid hydrolysis, complicating efforts to isolate its contribution. Utilizing cancer-associated mutations to investigate the...
