Phosphoinositide lipids have bidirectional and spatially distinct roles in filopodial dynamics

Julia Mason, Thomas C. A. Blake, Roshan Ravishankar…·Jennifer L. Gallop

This study shows phosphoinositide lipids have distinct roles at filopodial tips and bases, affecting actin dynamics and filopodial movement in Xenopus retinal ganglion cells.

Membrane composition and curvature in SNX9-mediated actin polymerization

Pankti Vaishnav, Hanae Shimo, Jonathan R Gadsby…·Jennifer L. Gallop

This study investigates SNX9's membrane binding and actin polymerization roles, finding it binds preferentially to PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3)P and forms diverse actin structures.
