Protein tethers can bridge the actin cytoskeleton with cellular membranes. Here, the authors show that two members of the NETWORKED family, NET4A and NET4B, tether actin filaments and the tonoplast through interaction with RABG3b and are essential for actin reorganization during stomatal closure in plant immunity.
