4 This paper focuses on `s interactions with perlecan, vinculin, and ß-integrin

5 Perlecan: located in the basement membrane Vinculin: binds actin & a-actinin ß-integrin: major structural TM component

6 Muscle fibers need anchors …….. in order to contract!

7

8 nearly continuous sheet forms focal adhesions..the sheet seperates into muscle quadrants

9 Perlecan ---> Vinculin ---> <--- ß-integrin Is a good neighbor? a good neighbor? <-- FA

10 wild type (at 3-fold) unc-112(st581) (PAT) Adhesion Structures

11 unc-112(st581) (PAT) Adhesion Structures wild type (at 3-fold)

12 unc-112(st581) (PAT) Adhesion Structures wild type (at 3-fold)

13 UNC-112::GFP colocalizes with PAT-3 immunofluorescence

14 Required for proper ß-integrin localization Is needed to organize vinculin & perlecan * However, vinculin does not need UNC-112 to localize itself with ß-integrin * but not required.

15 Myosin light-chain mAbUNC-112::GFP close-up of UNC-112::GFP

16 Myosin light-chain mAbUNC-112::GFP close-up of UNC-112::GFP (vinculin mutant)

17 Myosin light-chain mAbUNC-112::GFP close-up of UNC-112::GFP (perlecan mutant)

18 Myosin light-chain mAbUNC-112::GFP close-up of UNC-112::GFP (ß-integrin mutant)

19 Requires ß-integrin & perlecan for activation Without them, cannot anchor FA complexes Myosin is hopelessly lost without UNC-112

20 Human Ortholog of(kindlin-1) …also plays a role in proper attachment of actin to vinculin

21 Human Ortholog of(kindlin-1) Otherwise……

22 Not required for: -- Polarization of muscle cell membrane -- Focal Adhesion (FA) complex formation Required for: -- Neat and orderly arrays of FA complexes -- Proper attachment of actin to FAs -- Any Attachment of Myosin to FAs
