A Drosophila Model for Clostridium difficile Toxin CDT Reveals Interactions with Multiple Effector Pathways. [PDF]
, 2020 Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) cause severe and occasionally life-threatening diarrhea. Hyper-virulent strains produce CDT, a toxin that ADP-ribosylates actin monomers and inhibits actin polymerization.

E-cadherin and cell adhesion: a role in architecture and function in the pancreatic islet [PDF]
, 2007 Background/Aims: The efficient secretion of insulin from beta-cells requires extensive intra-islet communication. The cell surface adhesion protein epithelial (E)-cadherin (ECAD) establishes and maintains epithelial tissues such as the islets of ...

E-cadherin is required for centrosome and spindle orientation in Drosophila male germline stem cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Many adult stem cells reside in a special microenvironment known as the niche, where they receive essential signals that specify stem cell identity.

Tight Junctions/Adherens Junctions: Basic Structure and Function [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2007 Adherens and tight junctions are intercellular junctions crucial for epithelial adhesion and barrier function in a wide variety of tissues and organisms. In stratifying epithelia, such as the epidermis, the role of adherens and tight junctions was considered less important owing to the abundance of desmosomes, mediating firm mechanical stability ...

Tight junctions as regulators of tissue remodelling [PDF]
, 2016 Formation of tissue barriers by epithelial and endothelial cells requires neighbouring cells to interact via intercellular junctions, which includes tight junctions.

Intestinal Barrier Function in Gluten-Related Disorders [PDF]
, 2019 Gluten-related disorders include distinct disease entities, namely celiac disease, wheat-associated allergy and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity. Despite having in common the contact of the gastrointestinal mucosa with components of wheat and other ...

Adherens Junctions and Stem Cells [PDF]
, 2012 The specification, maintenance, division and differentiation of stem cells are integral to the development and homeostasis of many tissues. These stem cells often live in specialized anatomical areas, called niches. While niches can be complex, most involve cell-cell interactions that are mediated by 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.

PLoS ONE, 2014 Herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 are the most common opportunistic infections in HIV/AIDS. In these immunocompromised individuals, HSV-1 reactivates and replicates in oral epithelium, leading to oral disorders such as ulcers, gingivitis, and ...

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 ...
