    Actin branching: Coronin 1B vs. cortactin

    Coronin 1B antagonizes the actin branch stabilizing activity of cortactin by inducing the dissociation of the actin-related protein-2/3 (ARP2/3) complex from actin branches, thus regulating actin dynamics at the lamellipodia.

    Cell adhesion: Talin shifts cell spreading into high gear

    The cytoskeletal protein talin functions as a molecular clutch that links the contracting actin cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix-bound integrins.
