Epithelial cell morphology is essential for cellular homeostasis, but the mechanisms by which cell shape is established remain unclear. In this study, Marivin et al. (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202111002) identify DAPLE as a linker between polarity complexes and the actomyosin network at apical junctions. By recruiting CD2P and activating Gαβγ-mediated RhoA signaling, DAPLE ensures proper cell shape and function.
上皮细胞形态对于细胞内稳态至关重要,但细胞形状形成的机制尚不清楚。在这项研究中,Marivin 等人(2022. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202111002)发现 DAPLE 是极性复合物与顶端连接的肌动球蛋白网络之间的连接蛋白。通过招募 CD2P 并激活 Gαβγ 介导的 RhoA 信号,DAPLE 确保了细胞形状和功能的正常。
