Cytoskeletal control of B cell responses to antigens

P Tolar - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2017 - nature.com
The actin cytoskeleton is essential for cell mechanics and has increasingly been implicated
in the regulation of cell signalling. In B cells, the actin cytoskeleton is extensively coupled to …

The coordination between B cell receptor signaling and the actin cytoskeleton during B cell activation

J Li, W Yin, Y Jing, D Kang, L Yang, J Cheng… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
B-cell activation plays a crucial part in the immune system and is initiated via interaction
between the B cell receptor (BCR) and specific antigens. In recent years with the help of …

Germinal center B cells recognize antigen through a specialized immune synapse architecture

CR Nowosad, KM Spillane, P Tolar - Nature immunology, 2016 - nature.com
B cell activation is regulated by B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling and antigen
internalization in immune synapses. Using large-scale imaging across B cell subsets, we …

WASP family proteins: Molecular mechanisms and implications in human disease

DA Kramer, HK Piper, B Chen - European journal of cell biology, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract Proteins of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) family play a central role

[HTML][HTML] WASP integrates substrate topology and cell polarity to guide neutrophil migration

RM Brunetti, G Kockelkoren, P Raghavan… - Journal of Cell …, 2022 - rupress.org
To control their movement, cells need to coordinate actin assembly with the geometric
features of their substrate. Here, we uncover a role for the actin regulator WASP in the 3D …

Wiskott‐Aldrich syndrome protein: emerging mechanisms in immunity

E Rivers, AJ Thrasher - European journal of immunology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) participates in innate and adaptive
immunity through regulation of actin cytoskeleton‐dependent cellular processes, including …

Arp2/3 complex-driven spatial patterning of the BCR enhances immune synapse formation, BCR signaling and B cell activation

M Bolger-Munro, K Choi, JM Scurll, L Abraham… - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
When B cells encounter antigens on the surface of an antigen-presenting cell (APC), B cell
receptors (BCRs) are gathered into microclusters that recruit signaling enzymes. These …

Cdc42 is a key regulator of B cell differentiation and is required for antiviral humoral immunity

M Burbage, SJ Keppler, F Gasparrini… - Journal of Experimental …, 2015 - rupress.org
The small Rho GTPase Cdc42, known to interact with Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome (WAS)
protein, is an important regulator of actin remodeling. Here, we show that genetic ablation of …
