摘要
Ubiquitously expressed beta-actin and gamma-actin isoforms play critical roles in most cellular processes; however, their unique contributions are not well understood. We generated whole-body beta-actin-knockout (Actb(-/-)) mice and demonstrated that beta-actin is required for early embryonic development. Lethality of Actb(-/-) embryos correlated with severe growth impairment and migration defects in beta-actin-knockout primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) that were not observed in gamma-actin-null MEFs. Migration defects were associated with reduced membrane protrusion dynamics and increased focal adhesions. We also identified migration defects upon conditional ablation of beta-actin in highly motile T cells. Of great interest, ablation of beta-actin altered the ratio of globular actin (G-actin) to filamentous actin in MEFs, with corresponding changes in expression of genes that regulate the cell cycle and motility. These data support an essential role for beta-actin in regulating cell migration and gene expression through control of the cellular G-actin pool.
