Cover: Tension-controlled actin nucleator formins regulate the organization of CAV-1 vesicles and act as a safety valve dampening excessive tension on CAV-1 and safeguarding CAV-1 against mechanical damage. CAV-1 vesicles can move on actin filaments in normal cells. Formin inhibition results in decreased CAV-1 vesicle numbers, enlarged vesicle areas, and slowed movement speeds. When cells are challenged with hypo-osmotic shock or softer matrix, CAV-1 vesicles become less in number, larger in area, and slower in speed in order to resist the external environment pressure. The background shows reduced density and motility of cytoplasmic CAV-1 in the formin-inhibited cell. See pages 876–888 by Shi et al. for details.
