Mechanisms of matrix topography recognition are poorly understood. Here, we show that 5{beta}1-integrin mediated fibrillar adhesions serve this function. While on planar substrates, their formation requires fibronectin secretion, tensins, and actomyosin contractility, these requirements are bypassed on nanotopographical features. While focal adhesions avoid these features, fibrillar adhesions rapidly align along pre-existing fibrous cell-derived matrix or electrospun nanofibers where they can then template fibronectin fibrils. Topography-induced fibrillar adhesions depend primarily on 5{beta}1-integrin clustering and disassemble upon cortical stiffening driven by myosin-II overactivation or increased membrane tension. We propose a generic theoretical model where the adhesion receptor favours the membrane and substrate planes to be tilted relative to each other. This model matches experimental observations of preferential 5{beta}1-integrin clustering along nanofibers and concave edges of large negative curvature along micro-ridges. These findings establish fibrillar adhesions as primary adhesion complexes that form independently of focal adhesions in response to matrix topography.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
