Osteoclasts resorb bone by attaching on the bone matrix and forming a sealing zone. In Src-deficient mice, osteoclasts cannot form the actin ring, a characteristic actin structure that seals the resorbed area, and resorb hardly any bone as a result. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the role of Src in the regulation and organization of the actin ring is still unclear. We identified an actin-regulatory protein, protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 18 (PPP1r18), as an Src-binding pro ...[more]
