To define the role of these actin-binding proteins in cellular actin architecture, we compared the morphology of FLNa-deficient human melanoma (M2) cells and three stable derivatives of these cells expressing normal FLNa concentrations. All the cell lines contain similar amounts of the Arp2\/3 complex. Serum addition causes serum-starved M2 cells to extend flat protrusions transiently; thereafter, the protrusions turn into spherical blebs and the cells do not crawl. The short-lived lamellae of M2 cells contain a dense mat of long actin filaments in contrast to a more three-dimensional orthogonal network of shorter actin filaments in lamellae of identically treated FLNa-expressing cells capable of translational locomotion. FLNa-specific antibodies localize throughout the leading lamellae of these cells at junctions between orthogonally intersecting actin filaments. Arp2\/3 complex\u2013specific antibodies stain diffusely and label a few, although not the same, actin filament overlap sites as FLNa antibody. We conclude that FLNa is essential in cells that express it for stabilizing orthogonal actin networks suitable for locomotion. Contrary to some proposals, Arp2\/3 complex\u2013mediated branching of actin alone is insufficient for establishing an orthogonal actin organization or maintaining mechanical stability at the leading edge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.200105148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T16:46:23Z","timestamp":1027701983000},"page":"511-518","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1083\/jcb.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":156,"title":["Filamin A, the Arp2\/3 complex, and the morphology and function of cortical actin filaments in human melanoma cells"],"prefix":"10.1083","volume":"155","author":[{"given":"Lisa A.","family":"Flanagan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janet","family":"Chou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Herve\u0301","family":"Falet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ralph","family":"Neujahr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John H.","family":"Hartwig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas P.","family":"Stossel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hematology Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"291","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072213111017700_BIB1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"331","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.145.2.331","volume":"145","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
