Spatial oxidation of L-plastin downmodulates actin-based functions of tumor cells

The actin-remodelling protein L-plastin promotes tumour migration and invasion. Here, the authors show that L-plastin is regulated spatially by ROS-induced thiol oxidation which inhibits its actin-bundling function and cell spreading and filopodial extension formation in tumor cells.
