α-Actinin-4 Is Essential for Maintaining the Spreading, Motility and Contractility of Fibroblasts

BACKGROUND: α-Actinins cross-link actin filaments, with this cross-linking activity regulating the formation of focal adhesions, intracellular tension, and cell migration. Most non-muscle cells such as fibroblasts express two isoforms, α-actinin-1 (ACTN1) and α-actinin-4 (ACTN4). The high homology b...
