The activity of Integrins, the main mediators of cell-ECM adhesion in animals, is required for morphogenesis and must be precisely regulated to ensure proper development.

The best characterized mechanism for integrin regulation is conformational change driven by either extracellular signals (\"outside-in activation\") or by intracellular signals (\"inside-out activation\"). The cytoplasmic protein talin is a key regulator of inside-out activation. We used mutations in talin to demonstrate, for the first time, that modulation of integrin activation is essential for early mammalian development. We find that integrin activation mutants die by E8.5-E9.5 and show developmental delay and abnormal growth. Intriguingly, disrupting integrin regulation does not impinge on embryonic patterning and ECM distribution. Analysis of embryonic stem cells isolated from integrin activation mutants revealed a reduction in the strength of cell-ECM attachment but only mild defects in focal adhesion number and maturation.

To explore whether diverse actomyosin rings generate contractile force and close via a common mechanism, we studied three instances of ring closure within the continuous cytoplasm of the <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> syncytial oogenic germline: mitotic cytokinesis of germline stem cells, apoptosis of meiotic compartments, and cellularization of oocytes.

We formulated a physical model to relate measured closure speed and molecular composition dynamics to ring active stress and viscosity. We conclude that these ring intrinsic factors vary among the ring types. Our model suggests that motor and nonmotor cross-linkers' abundance and distribution along filaments are important to recapitulate observed closure dynamics.

Here we investigate nucleocytoplasmic compartmentalization during budding yeast meiosis and discover that meiosis II represents a semi-closed division marked by bidirectional mixing between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

This intercompartmental mixing occurs without nuclear envelope breakdown or dispersal of nucleoporins and is independent of known nuclear pore complex remodeling events. This phenomenon, termed virtual nuclear envelope breakdown (vNEBD), represents a unique mechanism distinct from other semi-closed divisions. We demonstrate that vNEBD is integrated into the meiotic program and regulated by the conserved meiotic kinase Ime2 and the meiosis-specific protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit, Gip1.
