Abstract:Compartmentalized interactions of plasma membrane components are essential to support many cell functions, from signaling to cell division, adhesion, migration, or phagocytosis. Cytoskeletal-membrane interactions play an important role in forming membrane compartments, and this feature has been primarily studied through the actin cytoskeleton. Unlike actin, septins directly interact with membranes, acting as scaffolds to recruit proteins to specific cellular locations and as structural diffusion barriers for m… Show more
