  • Dynamic Plasma Membrane Topography Linked With Arp2/3 Actin Network Induction During Cell Shape Change Tony J. C. Harris BioEssays ABSTRACTRecent studies show the importance of mesoscale changes to plasma membrane (PM) topography during cell shape change. Local folding and flattening of the cell surface is mechanosensitive, changing in response to both microenvironment structural elements and intracellular cytoskeletal activities. These topography changes elicit local mechanical signaling events that act in conjunction with molecular signal transduction pathways to remodel the cell cortex. Experimental manipulations of local PM curvature show its sufficiency for recruiting Arp2/3 actin network induction pathways. Additionally, studies of diverse cell shape changes—ranging from neutrophil migration to early Drosophila embryo cleavage to neural stem cell asymmetric division—show that local generation of PM folding is linked with local Arp2/3 actin network induction, which then remodels the PM topography during dynamic control of cell structure. These examples are reviewed in detail, together with known and potential causes of PM topography changes, downstream effects, and higher‐order feedback. 10.1002/bies.70004 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
