--- _id: '5984' abstract: - lang: eng text: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form the largest receptor family, relay environmental stimuli to changes in cell behavior and represent prime drug targets. Many GPCRs are classified as orphan receptors because of the limited knowledge on their ligands and coupling to cellular signaling machineries. Here, we engineer a library of 63 chimeric receptors that contain the signaling domains of human orphan and understudied GPCRs functionally linked to the light-sensing domain of rhodopsin. Upon stimulation with visible light, we identify activation of canonical cell signaling pathways, including cAMP-, Ca2+-, MAPK/ERK-, and Rho-dependent pathways, downstream of the engineered receptors. For the human pseudogene GPR33, we resurrect a signaling function that supports its hypothesized role as a pathogen entry site. These results demonstrate that substituting unknown chemical activators with a light switch can reveal information about protein function and provide an optically controlled protein library for exploring the physiology and therapeutic potential of understudied GPCRs. article_number: '1950' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Maurizio full_name: Morri, Maurizio id: 4863116E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Morri - first_name: Inmaculada full_name: Sanchez-Romero, Inmaculada id: 3D9C5D30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sanchez-Romero - first_name: Alexandra-Madelaine full_name: Tichy, Alexandra-Madelaine id: 29D8BB2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tichy - first_name: Stephanie full_name: Kainrath, Stephanie id: 32CFBA64-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kainrath - first_name: Elliot J. full_name: Gerrard, Elliot J. last_name: Gerrard - first_name: Priscila full_name: Hirschfeld, Priscila id: 435ACB3A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hirschfeld - first_name: Jan full_name: Schwarz, Jan id: 346C1EC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Harald L full_name: Janovjak, Harald L id: 33BA6C30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Janovjak orcid: 0000-0002-8023-9315 citation: ama: Morri M, Sanchez-Romero I, Tichy A-M, et al.

Polymerization at the leading edge assembles the actin filament network and generates protrusion force. How this force is supported by the network and how the assembly rate is shared between protrusion and network retrograde flow determines the protrusion rate. We use mathematical modeling to understand experiments changing the F-actin density in lamellipodia of B16-F1 melanoma cells by modulation of Arp2/3 complex activity or knockout of the formins FMNL2 and FMNL3. Cells respond to a reduction of density with a decrease of protrusion velocity, an increase in the ratio of force to filament number, but constant network assembly rate. The relation between protrusion force and tension gradient in the F-actin network and the density dependency of friction, elasticity, and viscosity of the network explain the experimental observations. The formins act as filament nucleators and elongators with differential rates. Modulation of their activity suggests an effect on network assembly rate. Contrary to these expectations, the effect of changes in elongator composition is much weaker than the consequences of the density change. We conclude that the force acting on the leading edge membrane is the force required to drive F-actin network retrograde flow. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Setareh full_name: Dolati, Setareh last_name: Dolati - first_name: Frieda full_name: Kage, Frieda last_name: Kage - first_name: Jan full_name: Mueller, Jan last_name: Mueller - first_name: Mathias full_name: Müsken, Mathias last_name: Müsken - first_name: Marieluise full_name: Kirchner, Marieluise last_name: Kirchner - first_name: Gunnar full_name: Dittmar, Gunnar last_name: Dittmar - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Klemens full_name: Rottner, Klemens last_name: Rottner - first_name: Martin full_name: Falcke, Martin last_name: Falcke citation: ama: Dolati S, Kage F, Mueller J, et al.

How the T cell actomyosin cytoskeleton facilitates this task in distinct environments is incompletely understood. Here, we show that lack of Myosin IXb (Myo9b), a negative regulator of the small GTPase Rho, led to increased Rho-GTP levels and cell surface stiffness in primary T cells. Nonetheless, intravital imaging revealed robust motility of Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells in lymphoid tissue and similar expansion and differentiation during immune responses. In contrast, accumulation of Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells in NLTs was strongly impaired. Specifically, Myo9b was required for T cell crossing of basement membranes, such as those which are present between dermis and epidermis. As consequence, Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells showed impaired control of skin infections. In sum, we show that Myo9b is critical for the CD8+ T cell adaptation from lymphoid to NLT surveillance and the establishment of protective tissue–resident T cell populations. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Federica full_name: Moalli, Federica last_name: Moalli - first_name: Xenia full_name: Ficht, Xenia last_name: Ficht - first_name: Philipp full_name: Germann, Philipp last_name: Germann - first_name: Mykhailo full_name: Vladymyrov, Mykhailo last_name: Vladymyrov - first_name: Bettina full_name: Stolp, Bettina last_name: Stolp - first_name: Ingrid full_name: de Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: de Vries - first_name: Ruth full_name: Lyck, Ruth last_name: Lyck - first_name: Jasmin full_name: Balmer, Jasmin last_name: Balmer - first_name: Amleto full_name: Fiocchi, Amleto last_name: Fiocchi - first_name: Mario full_name: Kreutzfeldt, Mario last_name: Kreutzfeldt - first_name: Doron full_name: Merkler, Doron last_name: Merkler - first_name: Matteo full_name: Iannacone, Matteo last_name: Iannacone - first_name: Akitaka full_name: Ariga, Akitaka last_name: Ariga - first_name: Michael H. full_name: Stoffel, Michael H. last_name: Stoffel - first_name: James full_name: Sharpe, James last_name: Sharpe - first_name: Martin full_name: Bähler, Martin last_name: Bähler - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Alba full_name: Diz-Muñoz, Alba last_name: Diz-Muñoz - first_name: Jens V. full_name: Stein, Jens V. last_name: Stein citation: ama: Moalli F, Ficht X, Germann P, et al.

Although lymph node metastasis in cancer patients correlates with poor prognosis, evidence is lacking as to whether and how tumor cells enter the bloodstream via lymph nodes. To investigate this question, we delivered carcinoma cells into the lymph nodes of mice by microinfusing the cells into afferent lymphatic vessels. We found that tumor cells rapidly infiltrated the lymph node parenchyma, invaded blood vessels, and seeded lung metastases without involvement of the thoracic duct. These results suggest that the lymph node blood vessels can serve as an exit route for systemic dissemination of cancer cells in experimental mouse models. Whether this form of tumor cell spreading occurs in cancer patients remains to be determined. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio acknowledgement: "M.B. was supported by the Cell Communication in Health and Disease graduate study program of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the Medical University of Vienna.

We ablated Arp2/3 nucleation promoting factor WAVE in DCs and found that the resulting cells lack lamellipodial protrusions. Instead, depending on the maturation state, one or multiple filopodia were formed. By challenging these cells in a variety of migration assays we found that lamellipodial protrusions are dispensable for the locomotion of leukocytes and actually dampen the speed of migration. However, lamellipodia are critically required to negotiate complex environments that DCs experience while they travel to the next draining lymph node. Taken together our results suggest that leukocyte lamellipodia have rather a sensory- than a force transducing function. Furthermore, we show for the first time structure and dynamics of dendritic cell F-actin at the immunological synapse with naïve T cells. Dendritic cell F-actin appears as dynamic foci that are nucleated by the Arp2/3 complex. WAVE ablated dendritic cells show increased membrane tension, leading to an altered ultrastructure of the immunological synapse and severe T cell priming defects. These results point towards a previously unappreciated role of the cellular mechanics of dendritic cells in T cell activation. Additionally, we present a novel cell culture based system for the differentiation of dendritic cells from conditionally immortalized hematopoietic precursors. These precursor cells are genetically tractable via the CRISPR/Cas9 system while they retain their ability to differentiate into highly migratory dendritic cells and other immune cells. This will foster the study of all aspects of dendritic cell biology and beyond.

Here, we used in vivo precision morphometry together with analysis of cytoskeletal dynamics in vitro to deconstruct the basic mechanisms of T cell migration within lymphatic organs. We show that the contributions of the integrin LFA-1 and the chemokine receptor CCR7 are complementary rather than positioned in a linear pathway, as they are during leukocyte extravasation from the blood vasculature. Our data demonstrate that CCR7 controls cortical actin flows, whereas integrins mediate substrate friction that is sufficient to drive locomotion in the absence of considerable surface adhesions and plasma membrane flux. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU acknowledgement: This work was funded by grants from the European Research Council (ERC StG 281556 and CoG 724373) and the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF) to M.S. and by Swiss National Foundation (SNF) project grants 31003A_135649, 31003A_153457 and CR23I3_156234 to J.V.S.

We quantified actin filament order in human cells using fluorescence polarization microscopy and found that cleavage furrow ingression initiates by contraction of an equatorial actin network with randomly oriented filaments. The network subsequently gradually reoriented actin filaments along the cell equator. This strictly depended on myosin II activity, suggesting local network reorganization by mechanical forces. Cortical laser microsurgery revealed that during cytokinesis progression, mechanical tension increased substantially along the direction of the cell equator, while the network contracted laterally along the pole-to-pole axis without a detectable increase in tension. Our data suggest that an asymmetric increase in cortical tension promotes filament reorientation along the cytokinetic cleavage furrow, which might have implications for diverse other biological processes involving actomyosin rings. article_number: e30867 author: - first_name: Felix full_name: Spira, Felix last_name: Spira - first_name: Sara full_name: Cuylen Haering, Sara last_name: Cuylen Haering - first_name: Shalin full_name: Mehta, Shalin last_name: Mehta - first_name: Matthias full_name: Samwer, Matthias last_name: Samwer - first_name: Anne full_name: Reversat, Anne id: 35B76592-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Reversat orcid: 0000-0003-0666-8928 - first_name: Amitabh full_name: Verma, Amitabh last_name: Verma - first_name: Rudolf full_name: Oldenbourg, Rudolf last_name: Oldenbourg - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Daniel full_name: Gerlich, Daniel last_name: Gerlich citation: ama: Spira F, Cuylen Haering S, Mehta S, et al.

Despite these versatile tasks in mammalian biology, their skills on a cellular level are deemed limited, mainly consisting in rolling, adhesion, and aggregate formation. Here, we identify an unappreciated asset of platelets and show that adherent platelets use adhesion receptors to mechanically probe the adhesive substrate in their local microenvironment. When actomyosin-dependent traction forces overcome substrate resistance, platelets migrate and pile up the adhesive substrate together with any bound particulate material. They use this ability to act as cellular scavengers, scanning the vascular surface for potential invaders and collecting deposited bacteria. Microbe collection by migrating platelets boosts the activity of professional phagocytes, exacerbating inflammatory tissue injury in sepsis. This assigns platelets a central role in innate immune responses and identifies them as potential targets to dampen inflammatory tissue damage in clinical scenarios of severe systemic infection. In addition to their role in thrombosis and hemostasis, platelets can also migrate to sites of infection to help trap bacteria and clear the vascular surface. author: - first_name: Florian R full_name: Gärtner, Florian R id: 397A88EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gärtner orcid: 0000-0001-6120-3723 - first_name: Zerkah full_name: Ahmad, Zerkah last_name: Ahmad - first_name: Gerhild full_name: Rosenberger, Gerhild last_name: Rosenberger - first_name: Shuxia full_name: Fan, Shuxia last_name: Fan - first_name: Leo full_name: Nicolai, Leo last_name: Nicolai - first_name: Benjamin full_name: Busch, Benjamin last_name: Busch - first_name: Gökce full_name: Yavuz, Gökce last_name: Yavuz - first_name: Manja full_name: Luckner, Manja last_name: Luckner - first_name: Hellen full_name: Ishikawa Ankerhold, Hellen last_name: Ishikawa Ankerhold - first_name: Roman full_name: Hennel, Roman last_name: Hennel - first_name: Alexandre full_name: Benechet, Alexandre last_name: Benechet - first_name: Michael full_name: Lorenz, Michael last_name: Lorenz - first_name: Sue full_name: Chandraratne, Sue last_name: Chandraratne - first_name: Irene full_name: Schubert, Irene last_name: Schubert - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Helmer, Sebastian last_name: Helmer - first_name: Bianca full_name: Striednig, Bianca last_name: Striednig - first_name: Konstantin full_name: Stark, Konstantin last_name: Stark - first_name: Marek full_name: Janko, Marek last_name: Janko - first_name: Ralph full_name: Böttcher, Ralph last_name: Böttcher - first_name: Admar full_name: Verschoor, Admar last_name: Verschoor - first_name: Catherine full_name: Leon, Catherine last_name: Leon - first_name: Christian full_name: Gachet, Christian last_name: Gachet - first_name: Thomas full_name: Gudermann, Thomas last_name: Gudermann - first_name: Michael full_name: Mederos Y Schnitzler, Michael last_name: Mederos Y Schnitzler - first_name: Zachary full_name: Pincus, Zachary last_name: Pincus - first_name: Matteo full_name: Iannacone, Matteo last_name: Iannacone - first_name: Rainer full_name: Haas, Rainer last_name: Haas - first_name: Gerhard full_name: Wanner, Gerhard last_name: Wanner - first_name: Kirsten full_name: Lauber, Kirsten last_name: Lauber - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Steffen full_name: Massberg, Steffen last_name: Massberg citation: ama: Gärtner FR, Ahmad Z, Rosenberger G, et al.

The formins FMNL2 and FMNL3 are Cdc42 effectors targeting to the lamellipodium tip and shown here to nucleate and elongate actin filaments with complementary activities in vitro. In migrating B16-F1 melanoma cells, both formins contribute to the velocity of lamellipodium protrusion. Loss of FMNL2/3 function in melanoma cells and fibroblasts reduces lamellipodial width, actin filament density and -bundling, without changing patterns of Arp2/3 complex incorporation. Strikingly, in melanoma cells, FMNL2/3 gene inactivation almost completely abolishes protrusion forces exerted by lamellipodia and modifies their ultrastructural organization. Consistently, CRISPR/Cas-mediated depletion of FMNL2/3 in fibroblasts reduces both migration and capability of cells to move against viscous media. Together, we conclude that force generation in lamellipodia strongly depends on FMNL formin activity, operating in addition to Arp2/3 complex-dependent filament branching. article_number: '14832' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Frieda full_name: Kage, Frieda last_name: Kage - first_name: Moritz full_name: Winterhoff, Moritz last_name: Winterhoff - first_name: Vanessa full_name: Dimchev, Vanessa last_name: Dimchev - first_name: Jan full_name: Müller, Jan id: AD07FDB4-0F61-11EA-8158-C4CC64CEAA8D last_name: Müller - first_name: Tobias full_name: Thalheim, Tobias last_name: Thalheim - first_name: Anika full_name: Freise, Anika last_name: Freise - first_name: Stefan full_name: Brühmann, Stefan last_name: Brühmann - first_name: Jana full_name: Kollasser, Jana last_name: Kollasser - first_name: Jennifer full_name: Block, Jennifer last_name: Block - first_name: Georgi A full_name: Dimchev, Georgi A last_name: Dimchev - first_name: Matthias full_name: Geyer, Matthias last_name: Geyer - first_name: Hams full_name: Schnittler, Hams last_name: Schnittler - first_name: Cord full_name: Brakebusch, Cord last_name: Brakebusch - first_name: Theresia full_name: Stradal, Theresia last_name: Stradal - first_name: Marie full_name: Carlier, Marie last_name: Carlier - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Josef full_name: Käs, Josef last_name: Käs - first_name: Jan full_name: Faix, Jan last_name: Faix - first_name: Klemens full_name: Rottner, Klemens last_name: Rottner citation: ama: Kage F, Winterhoff M, Dimchev V, et al.

Using spinning disk confocal microscopy to image filopodial dynamics in mouse resident Lifeact-EGFP macrophages, we show that filopodia, or filopodia-like structures, support pathogen clearance by multiple means. Filopodia supported the phagocytic uptake of bacterial (Escherichia coli) particles by (i) capturing along the filopodial shaft and surfing toward the cell body, the most common mode of capture; (ii) capturing via the tip followed by retraction; (iii) combinations of surfing and retraction; or (iv) sweeping actions. In addition, filopodia supported the uptake of zymosan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) particles by (i) providing fixation, (ii) capturing at the tip and filopodia-guided actin anterograde flow with phagocytic cup formation, and (iii) the rapid growth of new protrusions. To explore the role of filopodia-inducing Cdc42, we generated myeloid-restricted Cdc42 knock-out mice. Cdc42-deficient macrophages exhibited rapid phagocytic cup kinetics, but reduced particle clearance, which could be explained by the marked rounded-up morphology of these cells. Macrophages lacking Myo10, thought to act downstream of Cdc42, had normal morphology, motility, and phagocytic cup formation, but displayed markedly reduced filopodia formation. In conclusion, live-cell imaging revealed multiple mechanisms involving macrophage filopodia in particle capture and engulfment. Cdc42 is not critical for filopodia or phagocytic cup formation, but plays a key role in driving macrophage lamellipodial spreading. article_type: original author: - first_name: Markus full_name: Horsthemke, Markus last_name: Horsthemke - first_name: Anne full_name: Bachg, Anne last_name: Bachg - first_name: Katharina full_name: Groll, Katharina last_name: Groll - first_name: Sven full_name: Moyzio, Sven last_name: Moyzio - first_name: Barbara full_name: Müther, Barbara last_name: Müther - first_name: Sandra full_name: Hemkemeyer, Sandra last_name: Hemkemeyer - first_name: Roland full_name: Wedlich Söldner, Roland last_name: Wedlich Söldner - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Tacke, Sebastian last_name: Tacke - first_name: Martin full_name: Bähler, Martin last_name: Bähler - first_name: Peter full_name: Hanley, Peter last_name: Hanley citation: ama: Horsthemke M, Bachg A, Groll K, et al.

How monolayers cooperate with the penetrating cells to support their transit is poorly understood. We studied dendritic cell (DC) entry into lymphatic capillaries as a model system for transendothelial migration. We find that the chemokine CCL21, which is the decisive guidance cue for intravasation, mainly localizes in the trans-Golgi network and intracellular vesicles of lymphatic endothelial cells. Upon DC transmigration, these Golgi deposits disperse and CCL21 becomes extracellularly enriched at the sites of endothelial cell-cell junctions. When we reconstitute the transmigration process in vitro, we find that secretion of CCL21-positive vesicles is triggered by a DC contact-induced calcium signal, and selective calcium chelation in lymphatic endothelium attenuates transmigration. Altogether, our data demonstrate a chemokine-mediated feedback between DCs and lymphatic endothelium, which facilitates transendothelial migration. article_processing_charge: Yes author: - first_name: Kari full_name: Vaahtomeri, Kari id: 368EE576-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vaahtomeri orcid: 0000-0001-7829-3518 - first_name: Markus full_name: Brown, Markus id: 3DAB9AFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Ingrid full_name: De Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Vries - first_name: Alexander F full_name: Leithner, Alexander F id: 3B1B77E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Leithner - first_name: Matthias full_name: Mehling, Matthias id: 3C23B994-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Mehling orcid: 0000-0001-8599-1226 - first_name: Walter full_name: Kaufmann, Walter id: 3F99E422-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kaufmann orcid: 0000-0001-9735-5315 - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Vaahtomeri K, Brown M, Hauschild R, et al.

Gradients can either be soluble or immobilized to tissues as demonstrated for the haptotactic migration of dendritic cells (DCs) toward higher concentrations of immobilized chemokine CCL21. To elucidate how gradient characteristics govern cellular response patterns, we here introduce an in vitro system allowing to track migratory responses of DCs to precisely controlled immobilized gradients of CCL21. We find that haptotactic sensing depends on the absolute CCL21 concentration and local steepness of the gradient, consistent with a scenario where DC directionality is governed by the signal-to-noise ratio of CCL21 binding to the receptor CCR7. We find that the conditions for optimal DC guidance are perfectly provided by the CCL21 gradients we measure in vivo. Furthermore, we find that CCR7 signal termination by the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (GRK6) is crucial for haptotactic but dispensable for chemotactic CCL21 gradient sensing in vitro and confirm those observations in vivo. These findings suggest that stable, tissue-bound CCL21 gradients as sustainable “roads” ensure optimal guidance in vivo. author: - first_name: Jan full_name: Schwarz, Jan id: 346C1EC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Veronika full_name: Bierbaum, Veronika id: 3FD04378-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bierbaum - first_name: Kari full_name: Vaahtomeri, Kari id: 368EE576-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vaahtomeri orcid: 0000-0001-7829-3518 - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Markus full_name: Brown, Markus id: 3DAB9AFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown - first_name: Ingrid full_name: De Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Vries - first_name: Alexander F full_name: Leithner, Alexander F id: 3B1B77E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Leithner - first_name: Anne full_name: Reversat, Anne id: 35B76592-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Reversat orcid: 0000-0003-0666-8928 - first_name: Jack full_name: Merrin, Jack id: 4515C308-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Merrin orcid: 0000-0001-5145-4609 - first_name: Teresa full_name: Tarrant, Teresa last_name: Tarrant - first_name: Tobias full_name: Bollenbach, Tobias id: 3E6DB97A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bollenbach orcid: 0000-0003-4398-476X - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Schwarz J, Bierbaum V, Vaahtomeri K, et al.

It is required for resistance against genotoxic agents and is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR). However, the causes of the HR defect in INO80-C mutant cells are controversial. Here, we unite previous findings using a system to study HR with high spatial resolution in budding yeast. We find that INO80-C has at least two distinct functions during HR—DNA end resection and presynaptic filament formation. Importantly, the second function is linked to the histone variant H2A.Z. In the absence of H2A.Z, presynaptic filament formation and HR are restored in INO80-C-deficient mutants, suggesting that presynaptic filament formation is the crucial INO80-C function during HR. author: - first_name: Claudio full_name: Lademann, Claudio last_name: Lademann - first_name: Jörg full_name: Renkawitz, Jörg id: 3F0587C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Renkawitz orcid: 0000-0003-2856-3369 - first_name: Boris full_name: Pfander, Boris last_name: Pfander - first_name: Stefan full_name: Jentsch, Stefan last_name: Jentsch citation: ama: Lademann C, Renkawitz J, Pfander B, Jentsch S.

To investigate adhesion plasticity, we have selected a stable isogenic subpopulation of human MDA-MB-468 breast carcinoma cells growing in suspension. These suspension cells are unable to re-adhere to various matrices or to contract three-dimensional collagen lattices. By using transcriptome analysis, we identified the focal adhesion protein tensin3 (Tns3) as a determinant of adhesion plasticity. Tns3 is strongly reduced at mRNA and protein levels in suspension cells. Furthermore, by transiently challenging breast cancer cells to grow under non-adherent conditions markedly reduces Tns3 protein expression, which is regained upon re-adhesion. Stable knockdown of Tns3 in parental MDA-MB-468 cells results in defective adhesion, spreading and migration. Tns3-knockdown cells display impaired structure and dynamics of focal adhesion complexes as determined by immunostaining. Restoration of Tns3 protein expression in suspension cells partially rescues adhesion and focal contact composition. Our work identifies Tns3 as a crucial focal adhesion component regulated by, and functionally contributing to, the switch between adhesive and non-adhesive states in MDA-MB-468 cancer cells. article_type: original author: - first_name: Astrid full_name: Veß, Astrid last_name: Veß - first_name: Ulrich full_name: Blache, Ulrich last_name: Blache - first_name: Laura full_name: Leitner, Laura last_name: Leitner - first_name: Angela full_name: Kurz, Angela last_name: Kurz - first_name: Anja full_name: Ehrenpfordt, Anja last_name: Ehrenpfordt - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Guido full_name: Posern, Guido last_name: Posern citation: ama: Veß A, Blache U, Leitner L, et al.

In vitro reconstitution studies suggest that the structure and the dynamics of actin networks respond to mechanical forces. We demonstrate that lamellipodial actin of migrating cells responds to mechanical load when membrane tension is modulated. In a steady state, migrating cell filaments assume the canonical dendritic geometry, defined by Arp2/3-generated 70° branch points. Increased tension triggers a dense network with a broadened range of angles, whereas decreased tension causes a shift to a sparse configuration dominated by filaments growing perpendicularly to the plasma membrane. We show that these responses emerge from the geometry of branched actin: when load per filament decreases, elongation speed increases and perpendicular filaments gradually outcompete others because they polymerize the shortest distance to the membrane, where they are protected from capping. This network-intrinsic geometrical adaptation mechanism tunes protrusive force in response to mechanical load.' acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Jan full_name: Mueller, Jan last_name: Mueller - first_name: Gregory full_name: Szep, Gregory id: 4BFB7762-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Szep - first_name: Maria full_name: Nemethova, Maria id: 34E27F1C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nemethova - first_name: Ingrid full_name: De Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: De Vries - first_name: Arnon full_name: Lieber, Arnon last_name: Lieber - first_name: Christoph full_name: Winkler, Christoph last_name: Winkler - first_name: Karsten full_name: Kruse, Karsten last_name: Kruse - first_name: John full_name: Small, John last_name: Small - first_name: Christian full_name: Schmeiser, Christian last_name: Schmeiser - first_name: Kinneret full_name: Keren, Kinneret last_name: Keren - first_name: Robert full_name: Hauschild, Robert id: 4E01D6B4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hauschild orcid: 0000-0001-9843-3522 - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 citation: ama: Mueller J, Szep G, Nemethova M, et al.

Neutrophils are exceptionally short-lived leukocytes, yet it remains unclear whether the lifespan of pathogen-engaged neutrophils is regulated differently from that in the circulating steady-state pool. Here, we have found that under homeostatic conditions, the mRNA-destabilizing protein tristetraprolin (TTP) regulates apoptosis and the numbers of activated infiltrating murine neutrophils but not neutrophil cellularity. Activated TTP-deficient neutrophils exhibited decreased apoptosis and enhanced accumulation at the infection site. In the context of myeloid-specific deletion of Ttp, the potentiation of neutrophil deployment protected mice against lethal soft tissue infection with Streptococcus pyogenes and prevented bacterial dissemination. Neutrophil transcriptome analysis revealed that decreased apoptosis of TTP-deficient neutrophils was specifically associated with elevated expression of myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl1) but not other antiapoptotic B cell leukemia/ lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) family members. Higher Mcl1 expression resulted from stabilization of Mcl1 mRNA in the absence of TTP. The low apoptosis rate of infiltrating TTP-deficient neutrophils was comparable to that of transgenic Mcl1-overexpressing neutrophils. Our study demonstrates that posttranscriptional gene regulation by TTP schedules the termination of the antimicrobial engagement of neutrophils. The balancing role of TTP comes at the cost of an increased risk of bacterial infections. acknowledgement: This work was supported by grants from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) (P27538-B21, I1621-B22, and SFB 43, to PK); by funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (FP7-PEOPLE-2012-ITN) for the project INBIONET (INfection BIOlogy Training NETwork under grant agreement PITN-GA-2012-316682; and by a joint research cluster initiative of the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna. author: - first_name: Florian full_name: Ebner, Florian last_name: Ebner - first_name: Vitaly full_name: Sedlyarov, Vitaly last_name: Sedlyarov - first_name: Saren full_name: Tasciyan, Saren id: 4323B49C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tasciyan orcid: 0000-0003-1671-393X - first_name: Masa full_name: Ivin, Masa last_name: Ivin - first_name: Franz full_name: Kratochvill, Franz last_name: Kratochvill - first_name: Nina full_name: Gratz, Nina last_name: Gratz - first_name: Lukas full_name: Kenner, Lukas last_name: Kenner - first_name: Andreas full_name: Villunger, Andreas last_name: Villunger - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Pavel full_name: Kovarik, Pavel last_name: Kovarik citation: ama: Ebner F, Sedlyarov V, Tasciyan S, et al.

The consequences of RASGRP1 mutations in humans are unknown. In a patient with recurrent bacterial and viral infections, born to healthy consanguineous parents, we used homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing to identify a biallelic stop-gain variant in RASGRP1. This variant segregated perfectly with the disease and has not been reported in genetic databases. RASGRP1 deficiency was associated in T cells and B cells with decreased phosphorylation of the extracellular-signal-regulated serine kinase ERK, which was restored following expression of wild-type RASGRP1. RASGRP1 deficiency also resulted in defective proliferation, activation and motility of T cells and B cells. RASGRP1-deficient natural killer (NK) cells exhibited impaired cytotoxicity with defective granule convergence and actin accumulation. Interaction proteomics identified the dynein light chain DYNLL1 as interacting with RASGRP1, which links RASGRP1 to cytoskeletal dynamics. RASGRP1-deficient cells showed decreased activation of the GTPase RhoA. Treatment with lenalidomide increased RhoA activity and reversed the migration and activation defects of RASGRP1-deficient lymphocytes. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Elisabeth full_name: Salzer, Elisabeth last_name: Salzer - first_name: Deniz full_name: Çaǧdaş, Deniz last_name: Çaǧdaş - first_name: Miroslav full_name: Hons, Miroslav id: 4167FE56-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hons orcid: 0000-0002-6625-3348 - first_name: Emily full_name: Mace, Emily last_name: Mace - first_name: Wojciech full_name: Garncarz, Wojciech last_name: Garncarz - first_name: Oezlem full_name: Petronczki, Oezlem last_name: Petronczki - first_name: René full_name: Platzer, René last_name: Platzer - first_name: Laurène full_name: Pfajfer, Laurène last_name: Pfajfer - first_name: Ivan full_name: Bilic, Ivan last_name: Bilic - first_name: Sol full_name: Ban, Sol last_name: Ban - first_name: Katharina full_name: Willmann, Katharina last_name: Willmann - first_name: Malini full_name: Mukherjee, Malini last_name: Mukherjee - first_name: Verena full_name: Supper, Verena last_name: Supper - first_name: Hsiangting full_name: Hsu, Hsiangting last_name: Hsu - first_name: Pinaki full_name: Banerjee, Pinaki last_name: Banerjee - first_name: Papiya full_name: Sinha, Papiya last_name: Sinha - first_name: Fabienne full_name: Mcclanahan, Fabienne last_name: Mcclanahan - first_name: Gerhard full_name: Zlabinger, Gerhard last_name: Zlabinger - first_name: Winfried full_name: Pickl, Winfried last_name: Pickl - first_name: John full_name: Gribben, John last_name: Gribben - first_name: Hannes full_name: Stockinger, Hannes last_name: Stockinger - first_name: Keiryn full_name: Bennett, Keiryn last_name: Bennett - first_name: Johannes full_name: Huppa, Johannes last_name: Huppa - first_name: Loï̈C full_name: Dupré, Loï̈C last_name: Dupré - first_name: Özden full_name: Sanal, Özden last_name: Sanal - first_name: Ulrich full_name: Jäger, Ulrich last_name: Jäger - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Ilhan full_name: Tezcan, Ilhan last_name: Tezcan - first_name: Jordan full_name: Orange, Jordan last_name: Orange - first_name: Kaan full_name: Boztug, Kaan last_name: Boztug citation: ama: Salzer E, Çaǧdaş D, Hons M, et al.
