A non-muscle α-actinin is an intrinsic component of the cardiac Z-disc and regulates sarcomere turnover, contractility, and heart remodeling

James B. Hayes, Dharmendra Choudhary, Dylan Ritter…·Dylan Tyler Burnette

This study identifies ACTN4 as a non-muscle α-actinin in cardiac sarcomeres, showing it regulates contractility, hypertrophy, and heart remodeling without disease hallmarks.

Focal adhesion kinase regulates early steps of myofibrillogenesis in cardiomyocytes

Nilay Taneja, Abigail C. Neininger, Matthew R. Bersi…·Dylan T. Burnette

This study shows FAK regulates focal adhesion dynamics during myofibril assembly in cardiomyocytes, essential for myofibril maturation and force balance.

Muscle specific stress fibers give rise to sarcomeres and are mechanistically distinct from stress fibers in non-muscle cells

Aidan M. Feinx, Nilay Taneja, Abigail C. Neininger…·Dylan T. Burnette

The paper identifies muscle-specific stress fibers as essential sarcomere precursors and shows they form through distinct mechanisms compared to non-muscle stress fibers.
