Deskripsi

The perinuclear actin cap determines nuclear morphology but its regulation is currently poorly understood. Here, the authors find that an activator of the Rac1 GTPase, STEF/TIAM2, localises to the nuclear envelope and contributes to perinuclear actin and myosin tension, which in turn regulates the actin cap.
