  • T cells are actively scanning pMHC-presenting cells in lymphoid organs and nonlymphoid tissues (NLTs) with divergent topologies and confinement. How the T cell actomyosin cytoskeleton facilitates this task in distinct environments is incompletely understood. Here, we show that lack of Myosin IXb (Myo9b), a negative regulator of the small GTPase Rho, led to increased Rho-GTP levels and cell surface stiffness in primary T cells. Nonetheless, intravital imaging revealed robust motility of Myo9b CD8 T cells in lymphoid tissue and similar expansion and differentiation during immune responses. In contrast, accumulation of Myo9b CD8 T cells in NLTs was strongly impaired. Specifically, Myo9b was required for T cell crossing of basement membranes, such as those which are present between dermis and epidermis. As consequence, Myo9b CD8 T cells showed impaired control of skin infections. In sum, we show that Myo9b is critical for the CD8 T cell adaptation from lymphoid to NLT surveillance and the establishment of protective tissue-resident T cell populations.
