Associations of Stress Fibers with chemical compounds

  • The fluorescently labeled stress fibers remained intact despite glycerol or digitonin extraction of the cells; furthermore, these cell models contracted upon addition of MgATP [21].
  • Thus, this deamidation of glutamine 63 by CNF1 leads to the constitutive activation of Rho, and induces the reorganization of actin stress fibres [25].
  • A recent report in Developmental Cell demonstrates that the activation of a tyrosine kinase, C-terminal Src kinase, by heterotrimeric G protein subunits provides the trigger for Rho-dependent actin stress fiber formation [26].
  • Focus formation, stress fiber dissolution, and activation of the ERK-1/2 MAP kinase signal cascade were reverted by the cytohesin-1 E157K mutant, which is deficient in catalyzing guanine nucleotide exchange [27].
  • In the presence of DFMO, the HA-V14-RhoA cells lost stress fibers and gained the appearance of HA-N19-RhoA cells or wild-type cells treated with DFMO [28].
 

Gene context of Stress Fibers

  • We found that mutation of Tyr31/118 caused enhanced activation of RhoA and premature formation of stress fibers with substantial loss of efficient membrane spreading and ruffling in adhesion and migration of NMuMG cells [29].
  • We demonstrate that PDGF activates Cdc42 and its downstream effector N-WASP to mediate filopodia formation, actin stress fiber disassembly, and a reduction in focal adhesion complexes [30].
  • Interestingly, the simultaneous deletion of the H1 region is required for the localization of filamin-B at the tips of actin stress fibers [31].
  • In fibroblasts, VASP is concentrated at focal contact areas, along microfilament bundles (stress fibres) in a punctate pattern, in the periphery of protruding lamellae, and is phosphorylated by cGMP- and cAMP-dependent protein kinases in response to appropriate stimuli [32].
  • Importantly, the protrusions observed in cells transfected with ARF6 were distinct from the enhanced stress fibers and membrane ruffles observed in cells transfected with RhoA and Rac1, respectively [33].
