Migrating cells need to coordinate extension and retraction of their protrusions to avoid fragmenting. Kopf et al. (2020. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201907154) demonstrate that microtubules help to maintain cell coherence during amoeboid migration by controlling actomyosin contractility in retracting protrusions.
迁移细胞需要协调其突起的延伸和回缩,以避免断裂。Kopf 等人(2020. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201907154)表明,微管通过控制回缩突起中的肌动球蛋白收缩力,有助于在变形虫样迁移过程中维持细胞的连贯性。
