p120catenin plays a supporting role in cell adhesion but is not an essential adherens junction component [PDF]

, 2003
Cadherin–catenin complexes, localized to adherens junctions, are essential for cell–cell adhesion. One means of regulating adhesion is through the juxtamembrane domain of the cadherin cytoplasmic tail. This region is the binding site for p120, leading to

Morphophysiological dynamics of the proximal post‐testicular ducts in Crotalus durissus Linnaeus, 1758 (Squamata: Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The organization and function of reptilian excurrent ducts remain poorly characterized, particularly in Neotropical snakes. We provide the first integrative morphological, histochemical, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural analysis of the proximal post‐testicular ducts of Crotalus durissus across reproductive stages.

E-cadherin mediates adherens junction organization through protein kinase C [PDF]

, 1994
Cultured human keratinocytes maintained in 30 μM Ca2+ do not form adherens junctions; however, when the extracellular Ca2+ concentration is raised to 1 mM, adherens junctions form very rapidly.

Labeling Strategies for Monitoring Cytoskeleton Dynamics in Cultured Epithelial Cells

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective cell migration relies on coordinated cytoskeletal remodeling, yet the impact of live‐cell actin filament probes on these dynamics remains poorly characterized. Here, we systematically compared the performance and cellular effects of fluorogenic jasplakinolide‐based probes, SiR‐actin and SiR‐XActin, with the genetically encoded ...

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Wingless signalling alters the levels, subcellular distribution and dynamics of armadillo and E-Cadherin in third instar larval wing imaginal discs [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Armadillo, the Drosophila orthologue of vertebrate beta-catenin, plays a dual role as the key effector of Wingless/Wnt1 signalling, and as a bridge between E-Cadherin and the actin cytoskeleton.

Loss of Twist1 leads to disruption of ciliary length, endocytic vesicle dynamics, and cell–cell junctions during neural tube formation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Endocytosis constitutes a fundamental cellular process governing development through coordinated regulation of plasma membrane remodeling and ciliogenesis, processes essential for cell shape changes and tissue development. Although Twist1 null embryos display complete cranial neural tube (NT) closure defects and conditional knockout

Virtual adherens junctions

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2005
The textbook model of adherens junctions has been exploded, or severed, by Bill Weis, Soichiro Yamada, Frauke Drees, Sabine Pokutta, and W. James Nelson (Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA). There is no direct link, they say, between cadherin, via β- and α-catenin, to actin.

DNA Methylation and Transcriptomic Profiles of Wilms Tumour Reveal New Deregulated Genes and Epigenetic Processes Relevant for Tumour Stratification and Management

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wilms Tumour (WT), the most common kidney cancer in children, presents features of altered kidney development and frequently exhibits molecular alterations at the 11p15.5 imprinted locus, affecting the IGF2 and H19 genes, which contribute to tumour growth and predisposition.

Plasmalogen mediates integration of adherens junction

The Journal of Biochemistry, 2019
AbstractEther glycerolipids, plasmalogens are found in various mammalian cells and tissues. However, physiological role of plasmalogens in epithelial cells remains unknown. We herein show that synthesis of ethanolamine-containing plasmalogens, plasmenylethanolamine (PlsEtn), is deficient in MCF7 cells, an epithelial cell line, with severely reduced ...
