This study shows that disrupting the talin‑1 actin‑binding site (ABS3) via the KVK/DDD point mutation impairs focal adhesion maturation, cell migration, and leads to embryonic lethality in mice.
ABS3 mutation causes embryonic lethality, disrupted actin organization, and defective cell–ECM adhesion, establishing the critical role of talin-mediated actin binding in morphogenesis.
Tln1^KVK/DDD point mutation Knockin mouse model developed by genOway on C57BL/6 background, allowing assessment of talin‑actin linkage during embryogenesis and in primary fibroblasts.
