During cell migration, adhesion complexes control the production of force and the adaptation to the mechanical properties of the environment. The aim of this project was to understand the molecular mechanisms by which these complexes control the force produced by actin assembly and encode mechanical information into biochemical reactions. The first study shows that the proteins talin, RIAM and VASP assemble on the surface of a membrane to stimulate actin assembly by a novel. mechanism The second part is based on the reconstitution of the mechanosensitive machinery of the adhesion complexes with pure proteins on a micropatterned surface observed in microscopy. The study reveals that the stretchable protein talin exchanges its partner RIAM fo...
