Myosin-X sorts actin filaments into parallel bundles and tunes barbed-end dynamics

Wouter Kools, Sara Faour, Aliette Carlier, Trayana Hristova, Helena Sirkia, Ludivine Chaix, Antony Lee, Pascal Martin, Anne Houdusse, Guillaume Romet‐Lemonne, Antoine G. Jegou

This study shows myosin-X can bundle actin filaments and regulate barbed-end dynamics, suggesting it can initiate filopodia without passive crosslinkers.

Probing protein-protein interactions with drag flow: A case study of F-actin and tropomyosin

Camille Bagès, Morgan Chabanon, Wouter Kools, Thomas Dos Santos, Rebecca Pagès, Helena Sirkia, Cécile Leduc, Anne Houdusse, Antoine G. Jegou, Guillaume Romet‐Lemonne, Hugo Wioland

The paper introduces a drag flow method to study protein-protein interactions, showing that low forces detach tropomyosin clusters from actin filaments, with detachment rates depending on isoform and force magnitude.
