Abstract

AbstractMorphogenesis requires building stable macromolecular structures from highly dynamic proteins. Muscles are anchored by long-lasting integrin adhesions to resist contractile force. However, the mechanisms governing integrin diffusion, immobilization, and activation within developing tissues remain elusive. Here, we show that actin polymerisation-driven membrane protrusions form nanotopographies that enable strong adhesion at Drosophila muscle attachment sites (MAS). Super-resolution microscopy revealed that integrins assemble adhesive belts around Arp2/3-dependent actin protrusions, forming invadosome-like structures with membrane nanotopographies. Single protein tracking showed that, during MAS development, integrins became immobile and confined within diffusion traps formed by the membrane nanotopographies. Actin filaments also displayed restricted motion and confinement, indicating strong mechanical connection with integrins. Using isolated muscles cells, we show that substrate nanotopography, rather than rigidity, drives adhesion maturation by regulating actin protrusion, integrin diffusion and immobilization. These results thus demonstrate that actin-polymerisation driven membrane protrusions are essential for the formation of strong integrin adhesions sites in the developing embryo, and highlight the important contribution of geometry to morphogenesis.
