Zyxin and LPP differ in their sensing of strained actin filaments at tricellular junctions
The actomyosin cytoskeleton plays important roles in cell-cell adhesion by generating and responding to forces. Actin-binding proteins support actomyosin networks by reinforcing actin filaments, promoting actin remodeling, and transmitting forces to transmembrane adhesion proteins. One family of actin-binding proteins, LIM domain-containing proteins, is recruited to strained actin filaments.…
