The paper shows myosin forces alter F-actin structure, creating a landscape that -catenin recognizes, revealing a mechanism for mechanosensitive signaling.

This study visualizes the activation of semi-conservative dsRNA transcription in cystovirus Φ6 by observing capsid restructuring and transcription complex assembly using cryogenic electron microscopy.

This study shows afadin and vinculin enhance cadherin-catenin complex binding to F-actin, stabilizing it through cooperative interactions and promoting filament curvature.

This study reveals how zyxin assemblies coordinate actin nucleation and crosslinking to repair stress fibers in response to mechanical forces.
