Mutations in a Novel Cadherin Gene Associated with Bt Resistance in Helicoverpa zea
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Transgenic corn and cotton produce crystalline (Cry) proteins derived from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that are toxic to lepidopteran larvae. Helicoverpa zea, a key pest of corn and cotton in the U.S., has evolved widespread resistance

Differential Displacement of Classical Cadherins by VE-Cadherin [PDF]
Cell Communication & Adhesion, 2002 VE-cadherin is an endothelial cell-specific, type II classical cadherin that plays an important role in permeability, vasculogenesis, and vascular remodeling. Endothelial cells express equal levels of VE- and N-cadherin; VE-cadherin is present injunctions while N-cadherin is diffusely expressed over the surface of the cell.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are thin membrane tubular structures that interconnect physically separated cells. Growing evidence indicates that TNTs play unique roles in various diseases by facilitating intercellular transfer of signaling and organelles ...

Design of a Photoswitchable Cadherin [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013 There is a growing interest in engineering proteins whose function can be controlled with the spatial and temporal precision of light. Here, we present a novel example of a functional light-triggered switch in the Ca-dependent cell-cell adhesion protein E-cadherin, created using a mechanism-based design strategy. We report an 18-fold change in apparent

Differential Regulation of Growth-Promoting Signalling Pathways by E-Cadherin [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Despite the well-documented association between loss of E-cadherin and carcinogenesis, as well as the link between restoration of its expression and suppression of proliferation in carcinoma cells, the ability of E-cadherin to modulate growth-

Quantification of the stiffness and strength of cadherin ectodomain binding with different ions
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2014 The stiffness and strength of extracellular (EC) region of cadherin are proposed to be two important mechanical properties both for cadherin as a mechanotransductor and for the formation of cell-cell adhesion.

Modulatory effects of T-cadherin on cell behavior and growth factor receptor activity in carcinoma cells [PDF]
, 2014 Cancer is a major health problem. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway plays an important role in cancer progression. EGFR-targeted anti-cancer drugs are being developed to improve anti-cancer therapy.

Genes & Development, 2008 Cancer progression has similarities with the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) found during embryonic development, during which cells down-regulate E-cadherin and up-regulate Vimentin expression.
