Development and Characterization of a FRET-based Formin Tension Sensor in Living Cells
2026-07-13
Abstract excerpt
Mechanotransduction via the actin cytoskeleton is linked to fundamental cellular processes such as morphogenesis, cell division, and motility, requiring the control of tensile forces mediated by the motor protein non-muscle myosin 2 (NM2). Formins such as mDia1 have been shown to elongate actin structures that are under mechanical tension; conversely, mDia1’s elongation rates are modulated by the applied force. D...
