Constrained by cadherins [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2006
Natural killer (NK) cells get turned off by cadherins, according to a study on page 289. Ito and colleagues identify E-cadherin as a binding partner for the once-orphan inhibitory NK cell receptor KLRG1. Figure 1 NK cell inhibitory receptor KLRG1 (blue) binds to cadherins (purple) on target cells.

Binding and Synergizing Motif within Coleopteran Cadherin Enhances Cry3Bb Toxicity on the Colorado Potato Beetle and the Lesser Mealworm

open access: yesToxins, 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 ...

Cell adhesion and cortex contractility determine cell patterning in the Drosophila retina

open access: yes, 2007
Hayashi and Carthew (Nature 431 [2004], 647) have shown that the packing of cone cells in the Drosophila retina resembles soap bubble packing, and that changing E- and N-cadherin expression can change this packing, as well as cell shape.

Fibronectin is a smart adhesive that both influences and responds to the mechanics of early spinal column development

open access: yeseLife, 2020
An extracellular matrix of Fibronectin adheres the neural tube to the two flanking columns of paraxial mesoderm and is required for normal vertebrate development.

Tumor stiffness extends its grip on the metastatic microenvironment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The increased stiffness of a tumor triggers a multitude of responses that aid cancer cell dissemination. Stiffness-induced expression of CCN1 mediates autocrine signaling in the endothelium to upregulate N-Cadherin levels.

N-cadherin induces partial differentiation of cholinergic presynaptic terminals in heterologous cultures of brainstem neurons and CHO cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2012
N-cadherin is a calcium-sensitive cell adhesion molecule commonly expressed at synaptic junctions and contributes to formation and maturation of synaptic contacts.

Identification of the niche and phenotype of the first human hematopoietic stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
SummaryIn various vertebrate species, the dorsal aorta (Ao) is the site of specification of adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). It has been observed that the upregulation of essential hematopoietic transcription factors and the formation of specific ...

Cadherins and synaptic plasticity

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Cell Biology, 2008
Given their trans-synaptic localization, their persistent expression at mature synapses and their distinct biochemical and adhesive properties, cadherins are uniquely poised at the synapse to mediate synaptic plasticity, the ability to change synaptic function thought to underlie learning and memory.
