Holding it together: when cadherin meets cadherin
Biophysical Journal, 2021 Intercellular adhesion is the key to multicellularity, and its malfunction plays an important role in various developmental and disease-related processes. Although it has been intensively studied by both biologists and physicists, a commonly accepted definition of cell-cell adhesion is still being debated.

Toxins, 2019 Cry3Bb toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis is an important insecticidal protein due to its potency against coleopteran pests, especially rootworms. Cadherin, a protein in the insect midgut epithelium, is a receptor of Cry toxins; in some insect species ...

Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
, 2012 The functions of many organs depend on the generation of an epithelium. The transition from a set of loosely connected nonpolarized cells to organized sheets of closely associated polarized epithelial cells requires the assembly of specialized cell ...

Cadherins as Matchmakers [PDF]
Neuron, 2011 Cadherins implement afferent-target matching in invertebrates, but proof for this concept in mammalian circuits has remained elusive. Two new studies in this issue of Neuron show that cadherin-6 mediates retinal ganglion cell target selection and that cadherin-9 promotes synapse specificity in the hippocampus.

T-cadherin expression alternates with migrating neural crest cells in the trunk of the avian embryo [PDF]
, 1991 Trunk neural crest cells and motor axons move in a segmental fashion through the rostral (anterior) half of each somitic sclerotome, avoiding the caudal (posterior) half.

Functions of p120ctn in development and disease [PDF]
, 2012 p120 catenin (p120ctn), a component of the cadherin-catenin complex, was the first member to be identified in a most interesting subfamily of the Armadillo family. Several p120ctn isoforms are generated by alternative splicing.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
