Apical spectrin organizes cortical actin filament bundles to pattern C. elegans cuticle ridges

Prioty F. Sarwar, Trevor J. Barker, Ken C. Q. Nguyen…·Meera V. Sundaram

The paper shows that apical spectrin organizes actin filament bundles in C. elegans to pattern cuticle ridges, and its loss disrupts ridge formation and matrix delamination.

A transient apical extracellular matrix relays cytoskeletal patterns to shape permanent acellular ridges on the surface of adult C. elegans

Sophie S. Katz, Trevor J. Barker, Hannah M. Maul-Newby…·Alison R. Frand

The paper shows how actin and a provisional matrix work together to shape acellular ridges in C. elegans cuticle through transient actomyosin constriction and matrix patterning.
