De novo lumen formation necessitates the precise segregation of junctional proteins from apical surfaces, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using a zebrafish model, we develop a series of molecular reporters, photo-convertible and optogenetic tools to study the establishment of apical domains. Our study identifies Rasip1 as one of the earliest apical proteins recruited, which suppresses actomyosin contractility at junctional patches by inhibiting NMII, thereby allowing for the sustained outward flow of junctional complexes. Following the establishment of apical compartments, Rasip1 shuttles between junctions and the apical compartments in response to local high tension. Rasip1 confines Cdh5 to junctions by suppressing apical contractility. Conversely, the recruitment of Rasip1 to junctions is regulated by Heg1 and Krit1 to modulate contractility along junctions. Overall, de novo lumen formation and maintenance depend on the precise control of contractility within apical compartments and junctions, orchestrated by the dynamic recruitment of Rasip1. How junctional proteins are sorted to establish apical domains during de novo lumen formation remains poorly understood. Here they show that Rasip1 regulates contractility to control the segregation of apical and junctional compartments during vascular lumen formation in zebrafish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
