Dynamic polyhedral actomyosin lattices remodel micron-scale curved membranes during exocytosis in live mice
2019
Overview
Actomyosin networks, the cell’s major force production machineries, remodel cellular membranes during myriad dynamic processes

by assembling into various architectures with distinct force generation properties

. While linear and branched actomyosin architectures are well characterized in cell-culture and cell-free systems

, it is not known how actin and myosin networks form and function to remodel membranes in complex three-dimensional mammalian tissues. Here, we use four-dimensional spinning-disc confocal microscopy with image deconvolution to acquire macromolecular-scale detail of dynamic actomyosin networks in exocrine glands of live mice. We address how actin and myosin organize around large membrane-bound secretory vesicles and generate the forces required to complete exocytosis

. We find that actin and non-muscle myosin II (NMII) assemble into previously undescribed polyhedral-like lattices around the vesicle membrane. The NMII lattice comprises bipolar minifilaments

as well as non-canonical three-legged configurations. Using photobleaching and pharmacological perturbations in vivo, we show that actomyosin contractility and actin polymerization together push on the underlying vesicle membrane to overcome the energy barrier and complete exocytosis

. Our imaging approach thus unveils a force-generating actomyosin lattice that regulates secretion in the exocrine organs of live animals.
Using intravital imaging, Ebrahim et al. show that actin and non-muscle myosin II assemble into polyhedral lattices around the vesicle membrane to mediate exocytic secretion in live tissues.
