“…These three SORBS proteins share binding partners, including vinculin (Kioka et al, 1999;Mandai et al, 1999;Cestra et al, 2005), the tyrosine kinase c-Abl (Wang et al, 1997;Lin et al, 2001;Mitsushima et al, 2006b), the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase c-Cbl (Ribon et al, 1998b;Soubeyran et al, 2003;Mitsushima et al, 2006c) and the lipid raft protein flotillin (Kimura et al, 2001;Haglund et al, 2004). Among the vinexin family, only ArgBP2 is reported to interact with the actin crosslinking protein α-actinin (Rönty et al, 2005;Anekal et al, 2015). In addition to the function of vinexin-α as a mechanosensor, several studies have also demonstrated that SORBS proteins play roles in mechanotransduction: ArgBP2 increases phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain II (MRLC) (Martin et al, 2013), and the only orthologue in Drosophila, dCAP, regulates the assembly and function of tension-sensitive organs (Bharadwaj et al, 2013).…”
