Effects of acute and chronic disease on cell junctions in mouse liver
Cell junctions, including anchoring, occluding and communicating junctions, play an indispensable role in tissue architecture and homeostasis. Consequently, malfunctioning of cell junctions is linked with a wide range of disorders, including in liver ...

p120ctn and P-cadherin but not E-cadherin regulate cell motility and invasion of DU145 prostate cancer cells. [PDF]
Adherens junctions consist of transmembrane cadherins, which interact intracellularly with p120ctn, beta-catenin and alpha-catenin. p120ctn is known to regulate cell-cell adhesion by increasing cadherin stability, but the effects of other adherens ...

Endothelial Adherens Junctions [PDF]
The principle of the molecular organization of adherens junctions follows a uniform pattern, which is found in epithelial, muscular, neuroneal as well as in endothelial cells and is highly conserved among species. Transmembrane molecules of the cadherin family link to catenins, which anchor the adhesion plaque to the cytoskeleton.

Role of spectraplakin in Drosophila photoreceptor morphogenesis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Crumbs (Crb), a cell polarity gene, has been shown to provide a positional cue for the apical membrane domain and adherens junction during Drosophila photoreceptor morphogenesis.

Scattering of MCF7 cells by heregulin ß-1 depends on the MEK and p38 MAP kinase pathway. [PDF]
Heregulin (HRG) β1 signaling promotes scattering of MCF7 cells by inducing breakdown of adherens and tight junctions. Here, we show that stimulation with HRG-β1 causes the F-actin backbone of junctions to destabilize prior to the loss of adherent ...

Sorbin and SH3 domain-containing protein 2 (SORBS2) is a component of the acto-myosin ring at the apical junctional complex in epithelial cells. [PDF]
SORBS2 is a scaffolding protein associated with Abl/Arg non-receptor tyrosine kinase pathways and is known to interact with actin and several other cytoskeletal proteins in various cell types.

FRAP analysis reveals stabilization of adhesion structures in the epidermis compared to cultured keratinocytes. [PDF]
Proper development and tissue maintenance requires cell-cell adhesion structures, which serve diverse and crucial roles in tissue morphogenesis. Epithelial tissues have three main types of cell-cell junctions: tight junctions, which play a major role in ...
