abstract = {To navigate through diverse tissues, migrating cells must
balance persistent self-propelled motion with adaptive
behaviors to circumvent obstacles. We identify a
curvature-sensing mechanism underlying obstacle evasion in
immune-like cells. Specifically, we propose that actin
polymerization at the advancing edge of migrating cells is
inhibited by the curvature-sensitive BAR domain protein
Snx33 in regions with inward plasma membrane curvature. The
genetic perturbation of this machinery reduces the cells’
capacity to evade obstructions combined with faster and more
persistent cell migration in obstacle-free environments. Our
results show how cells can read out their surface topography
and utilize actin and plasma membrane biophysics to
interpret their environment, allowing them to adaptively
decide if they should move ahead or turn away. On the basis
of our findings, we propose that the natural diversity of
BAR domain proteins may allow cells to tune their curvature
sensing machinery to match the shape characteristics in
their environment.},
