The migration of cells according to a diffusible chemical signal in their environment is called chemotaxis, and the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is widely used for the study of eukaryotic chemotaxis. Dictyostelium must sense chemicals, such as

Many eukaryotic cells are able to crawl on surfaces and guide their motility based on environmental cues. These cues are interpreted by signaling systems which couple to cell mechanics; indeed membrane protrusions in crawling cells are often accompan

The directional movement toward extracellular chemical gradients, a process called chemotaxis, is an important property of cells. Central to eukaryotic chemotaxis is the molecular mechanism by which chemoattractant-mediated activation of G-protein co

Fast amoeboid migration requires cells to apply mechanical forces on their surroundings via transient adhesions. However, the role these forces play in controlling cell migration speed remains largely unknown. We used three-dimensional force microsco

GSK3 plays a central role in orchestrating key biological signaling pathways, including cell migration. Here, we identify GlkA as a GSK3 family kinase with functions that overlap with and are distinct from those of GskA. We show that GlkA, as previou

Mammalian cells encode three closely related Ras proteins, H-Ras, N-Ras, and K-Ras. Oncogenic K-Ras mutations frequently occur in human cancers, which lead to dysregulated cell proliferation and genomic instability. However, mechanistic role of the R

Cellular traction force microscopy (TFM) requires knowledge of the mechanical properties of the substratum where the cells adhere to calculate cell-generated forces from measurements of substratum deformation. Polymer-based hydrogels are broadly used

A mechanosensory system is characterized that fine-tunes the level of myosin II at the cleavage furrow. This mechanosensory system consists of the mechanosensory module composed of myosin II and cortexillin I and a mechanotransduction loop that inclu

A new pathway that controls pseudopod extension is identified. Results support a model in which Rab1A is required for chemoattractant-mediated Roco2 activation that functions through the F-actin cross-linker filamin to promote pseudopod extension.
