2 Figure 1 Model for Alterations in Migration Induced by Tension Isoform Switch (A and B, left panels) In stationary MCF-10A cells, tensin and other adaptor proteins link β1 integrin to actin microfilament bundles (stress fibers) to form focal adhesions. (A and B, right panels) Tensin-switch induced by EGF causes the dissolution of stress fibers, a decrease in focal adhesions, and scattering of MCF10A cells. Cten competes with tensin 3 and other proteins for the binding to β1 integrin tail, uncoupling actin microfilaments from a large percentage of β1.
