NHSL3 controls single and collective cell migration through two distinct mechanisms by Nikita M. Novikov, Jinmei Gao, Artem I. Fokin, Nathalie Rocques, Giovanni Chiappetta, Karina D. Rysenkova, Diego Javier Zea, Anna Polesskaya, Joelle Vinh, Raphael Guerois, Alexis M. Gautreau

“…We identify the partner repertoire of each isoform using proteomics and predict direct partners and their binding sites using an AlphaFold2-based pipeline. Rescue with specific isoforms, and lack of rescue when relevant binding sites are mutated, establish that the interaction of a long isoform with MENA/VASP proteins is critical at cell-cell junctions for collective migration, while the interaction of a short one with 14-3-3θ in lamellipodia is critical for single cell migration. …”
