Microtubules restrict F-actin polymerization to the immune synapse via GEF-H1 to maintain polarity in lymphocytes

Abstract: Immune synapse formation is a key step for lymphocyte activation. In B lymphocytes, the immune synapse controls the production of high-affinity antibodies, thereby defining the efficiency of humoral immune responses. While the key roles played by both the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons in the formation and function of the immune synapse have become increasingly clear, how the different events involved in synapse formation are coordinated in space and time by actin-microtubule interactions is not understoo… Show more

“…We could not access whether there is antigen internalization from the droplets. However, in a recent work we show that there is, at least on stiff droplets, exocysts enrichment at the synapse, a signature of proteases release (44). Future efforts will be directed to make droplets where mechanical extraction is possible.…”

“…In our experiments, LatA did not induce the formation of the static protrusive structure when the microtubule cytoskeleton was depolymerized priorly, an observation in line with Obino et al (2016). Microtubule‐mediated polarity cues for protrusion formation could involve regulating the phosphoinositide content of the plasma membrane (Golub & Caroni, 2005; Sugiyama et al , 2015), asymmetrically activating Rho signaling (Pineau et al , 2022) or providing direct interaction with membrane‐bending factors (Kelley et al , 2015). We think that, once these factors, likely to belong to the BAR protein superfamily, stably bind and bend membranes in the absence of actin cytoskeleton, subsequent microtubule depolymerization is no longer effective.…”
