Dyn2 and α-actinin 4 interact directly to regulate invasive cell migration and the stabilization of invadopodia. Intriguingly, this is specific for α-actinin 4, and not the highly related protein α-actinin 1. These findings elucidate a novel mechanism of regulating cell migration, with important implications for invasive tumor cells.
