Abstract
Cell migration is a prerequisite for cancer cell invasion and metastasis. The highlighted study shows that UFMylation of ARPC4 facilitates ARP2/3 complex-mediated lamellipodia formation, thereby promoting cancer cell migration, invasion and metastasis.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
