ECM dimensionality tunes actin tension to modulate the endoplasmic reticulum and spheroid phenotype

F. Kai, G. Ou, R. W. Tourdot, C. Stashko, G. Gaietta, M. F. Swift, N. Volkmann, A. F. Long, Y. Han, H. H. Huang, J. J. Northey, A. M. Leidal, V. Viasnoff, D. M. Bryant, W. Guo, , V. M. Weaver

The paper shows that ECM dimensionality affects actin tension, which in turn modulates endoplasmic reticulum function and spheroid resilience in mammary epithelial cells.

Structural basis of αE-catenin-F-actin catch bond behavior

X.-P. Xu, S. Pokutta, M. Torres, M. F. Swift, D. Hanein, N. Volkmann, W. I. Weis

The paper describes the cryo-EM structure of E-catenin's actin-binding domain and explains how mechanical force affects its binding to F-actin, revealing the mechanism of catch bond behavior.
