Remodeling of actin and microtubule cytoskeletons is thought to be coupled; however, the interplay
between these two systems is not fully understood. We show a microtubule end-binding protein, EB1, is required for formation of polarized morphology and motility of melanoma cells. EB1 depletion
decreased lamellipodia protrusion, and resulted in loss of opposed protruding and retracting cell edges.
Lamellipodia attenuation correlated with mis-localization of filopodia throughout the cell and decreased Arp3 localization. EB1-depleted cells displayed less persistent migration and reduced velocity in singlecell motility experiments. We propose EB1 coordinates melanoma cell migration through regulating the balance between lamellipodial and filopodial protrusion.

Actin binding to WH2 domains regulates nuclear import of the multifunctional actin regulator JMY
Zuchero, J. Bradley; Belin, Brittany J.; Mullins, R. Dyche (American Society for Cell Biology, 2012-01-19)Junction-mediating and regulatory protein (JMY) is a regulator of both transcription and actin filament assembly. In response to DNA damage, JMY accumulates in the nucleus and promotes p53-dependent apoptosis. JMY's ... -
