Investigating the Interactions Between Protocadherin-19 and Ryk and its Effect on Neurogenesis [PDF]
, 2016 Protocadherins are a large, diverse family of neural cell adhesion proteins, but their functions are not understood. Mutations or in several protocadherins have been associated with neurological disorders.

Identification of a novel human E-Cadherin splice variant andassessment of its effects upon EMT-related events [PDF]
, 2018 Epithelial Cadherin (E-cadherin) is involved in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. The E-cadherin decrease/loss is a hallmark of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a key event in tumor progression.

HSP70 governs permeability and mechanotransduction in primary human endothelial cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.HSP70 chemical inhibition reduces endothelial cell proliferation and increases permeability, the latter supported by normal interendothelial junctional protein distribution. HSP70 also plays a role in shear stress response, a hemodynamic force naturally present in blood vessels and correlated with vessel protection.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 While the numerous influences of synaptically released zinc on synaptic efficiency during long-term potentiation have been discussed by many authors already, we focused on the possible effect of zinc on cadherins and therefore its contribution to ...

Role of N-cadherin cis and trans interfaces in the dynamics of adherens junctions in living cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cadherins, Ca(2+)-dependent adhesion molecules, are crucial for cell-cell junctions and remodeling. Cadherins form inter-junctional lattices by the formation of both cis and trans dimers.

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...

The cadherin superfamily [PDF]
WormBook, 2005 The cadherins are a major class of membrane proteins with prominent roles in cell adhesion, and the regulation of tissue organisation and morphogenesis. The C. elegans genome encodes 13 cadherins, including representatives of the major cadherin sub-types that are conserved between insects and vertebrates: the so-called classic, Fat-like, Flamingo and ...

Biomimetic emulsions reveal the effect of homeostatic pressure on cell-cell adhesion
, 2012 Cell-cell contacts in tissues are continuously subject to mechanical forces due to homeostatic pressure and active cytoskeleton dynamics. While much is known about the molecular pathways of adhesion, the role of mechanics is less well understood.

Calcium-sensing receptor activation increases cell-cell adhesion and ß-cell function [PDF]
, 2012 Background/Aims: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in pancreatic β-cells where it is thought to facilitate cell-to-cell communication and augment insulin secretion.
