At cell–cell contacts, as well as at the leading edge of motile cells, the plasticity of actin structures is maintained, in part, through labile connections to the plasma membrane. Here we explain how and why Drosophila enabled/vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (Ena/VASP) proteins are candidates for driving this cytoskeleton modulation under the membrane.

Abbreviations used in this paper: Ena/VASP, Drosophila enabled/vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein; NPF, nucleation promoting factor.
