Nanoscale indentation of plasma membrane establishes a contractile actomyosin scaffold through selective activation of the Amphiphysin-Rho1-Dia/DAAM and Rok pathway
2020-08-04
Abstract excerpt
Nanoscale bending of plasma membrane increases cell adhesion, induces cell-signalling, triggers F-actin assembly and endocytosis in tissue-cultured cells. The underlying mechanisms are not very well understood. Here, we show that stretching the plasma membrane of somatic cyst cell around rigid spermatid heads generates a stable, tubular endomembrane scaffold supported by contractile actomyosin. The structure resem...
