E-cadherin-based adherens junctions are required for proper adhesion and orientation of epithelial cells within a sheet, as well as playing a role in asymmetric cell division. Although a lot is known – about how E-cadherin-based junctions link to the cytoskeleton, much less is known – about how their localization in the cell is controlled.

Adherens Junctions and Pathogen Entry
2012Epithelia are highly organised structures protecting underlying tissues against microbial pathogens. Epithelial morphogenesis and maintenance is mediated by cell-cell adhesion molecules organised in junctional complexes, such as the adherens junctions.

Adherens junctions of the human detrusor
BJU International, 2005OBJECTIVE To immunohistochemically identify the protein composition of adherens junctions, which couple smooth muscle cells mechanically, and to confirm their decrease in different bladder dysfunctions, as studies in geriatric bladder dysfunction show fewer such junctions in patients with detrusor overactivity ...

Epithelial cells are joined by adherens junctions, which consist of homotypic interactions between extracellular domains of E-cadherins. Inside the cell, the tails of E-cadherins bind actin cables through β-catenin and α-catenin. Formin1 is critically important for the formation of actin cables; it binds directly to α-catenin and can even bypass the ...

Cadherins and catenins are the central cell-cell adhesion molecules in adherens junctions (AJs). This chapter reviews the knowledge concerning the role of cadherins and catenins in epithelial cancer and examines the published literature demonstrating the changes in the expression and function of these proteins in human cancer and the association of ...

Associated proteins of lens adherens junction
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2002AbstractCytoplasmic proteins associated with adherens junctions were identified in the chicken ocular lens. The catenins, α, β, and γ, were present in epithelial and fiber cells, although their pattern of distribution changed with fiber cell differentiation. The sharp decline in α‐catenin with fiber cell formation and the increasing Triton‐insolubility

Molecular architecture of adherens junctions
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2001Adherens junctions are composed of a cadherin-catenin complex and its associated proteins. Recently, an increasing number of novel members of adherens junctions, including membrane and PDZ proteins, have been reported. Interactions among these components in adherens junctions seem to be dynamically regulated during the formation of adherens junction ...

Adherens junctions in Drosophila retinal morphogenesis
Trends in Cell Biology, 2007Adherens junctions and their core molecular components, classic cadherins, make major contributions to animal morphogenesis. Although the significance of cadherins in development is generally accepted, the mechanisms regulating adherens junction function during morphogenesis remain a subject of intense research.

Adherens junction treadmilling during collective migration
Nature Cell Biology, 2014Collective cell migration is essential for both physiological and pathological processes. Adherens junctions (AJs) maintain the integrity of the migrating cell group and promote cell coordination while allowing cellular rearrangements. Here, we show that AJs undergo a continuous treadmilling along the lateral sides of adjacent leading cells.

Adherens Junctions During Cell Migration
2012Migration is a key cellular process, involved during morphogenetic movements as well as in the adult where it participates in immune cell trafficking, wound healing or tumour invasion. As they migrate, cells interact with a microenvironment composed of extracellular matrix and neighbouring cells.
