ARHGAP12 suppresses F-actin assembly to control epithelial tight junction mechanics and paracellular leak pathway permeability

Hana Maldivita Tambrin, Yun Liu, Kexin Zhu…·Alexander Ludwig

This study identifies ARHGAP12 as a regulator of the paracellular leak pathway by suppressing F-actin assembly at tight junctions without affecting ion flux.

Membrane curvature catalyzes actin nucleation through nano-scale condensation of N-WASP-FBP17

Kexin Zhu, Xiangfu Guo, Aravind Chandrasekaran…·Yansong Miao

The paper demonstrates that membrane curvature catalyzes actin nucleation through the condensation and activation of N-WASP by FBP17, revealing a curvature-guided mechanism for actin remodeling.
