Abstract
We show that heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1 or HSP27) is the downstream mediator of this effect. Disruption of the HSPB1 gene in embryonic fibroblasts with wild-type HMGB1 recapitulates the mitochondrial fragmentation, deficits in mitochondrial respiration, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthes...

Abstract
We report here that kindlin-2 interacts with multiple phosphoinositides, preferentially with phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Although integrin-binding is essential for focal adhesion localization of kindlin-2, phosphoinositide-binding is not required for this process. Using biologically an...
