During migration, cells invade, repair, and create barriers leading to the formation of new cellular contacts in target tissues. Cell migration requires many proteins that collectively form the cytoskeleton. The main cytoskeletal elements are actin filaments, microtubules (MTs), and intermediate filaments. These structures work in concert with a large number of accessory proteins that contribute in a variety of ways to regulate filament assembly and turnover, to alter the configuration or arrangement of filaments by bundling or crosslinking, to link the cytoskeleton to other structures in the cell, such as membranes and junctions, and to transport cargo along the filaments. Sperm flagella protein-1 (Spef1), also designated calponin homology and microtubules-associated protein (CLAMP), is a multifunctional protein that interacts with cytoskeletal structures, including MTs, actin filaments, and focal adhesions in epithelia. In this review, we outline Spef1/CLAMP structure and expression in several cellular models. The function of Spef1/CLAMP in flagellar and ciliary motility, MT-binding and stability, regulation of planar cell polarity, and potential contribution to the maintenance of actin-based structures, such as lamellipodia and filopodia during cell migration, are also discussed.
在迁移过程中,细胞会入侵、修复并创建屏障,从而在靶组织中形成新的细胞接触。细胞迁移需要许多蛋白质,这些蛋白质共同构成细胞骨架。主要的细胞骨架元件是肌动蛋白丝、微管(MTs)和中间丝。这些结构与大量辅助蛋白协同工作,以各种方式调节丝组装和周转率,通过束集或交联改变丝的结构或排列,将细胞骨架与细胞中的其他结构(如膜和连接点)连接起来,并沿丝运输货物。精子鞭毛蛋白 1(Spef1),也称为钙调蛋白同源物和微管相关蛋白(CLAMP),是一种多功能蛋白,可与细胞骨架结构相互作用,包括上皮中的 MTs、肌动蛋白丝和黏着斑。在这篇综述中,我们概述了 Spef1/CLAMP 在几种细胞模型中的结构和表达。Spef1/CLAMP 在鞭毛和纤毛运动、MT 结合和稳定性、平面细胞极性调节以及对细胞迁移过程中肌动蛋白为基础的结构(如片状伪足和丝状伪足)的维持的潜在贡献的功能也进行了讨论。
