Figure 1 Junctional Actomyosin Reorganization Required for Contractility (A) A mature actomyosin network is present at cell-cell contacts. (B) Following F-actin depolymerization, junctional actomyosin network is organized via two steps: actomyosin nucleation and actomyosin alignment. (C) Apoptosis (purple cell) produces a mechanical stimulus that recruits Coro1B to junctions through E-cadherin to upregulate and align junctional actomyosin and drive apoptotic cell extrusion.
