Abstract:
:Signaling circuits often coordinate cellular membranes and actin filaments at distinct sites to direct cell behavior. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Bershteyn et al. outline how the molecular scaffold protein, MIM, which bends membranes and binds actin filaments, is at the middle of one such circuit to regulate ciliogenesis.
