p120 Catenin-Associated Fer and Fyn Tyrosine Kinases Regulate β-Catenin Tyr-142 Phosphorylation and β-Catenin-α-Catenin Interaction [PDF]
beta-Catenin has a key role in the formation of adherens junction through its interactions with E-cadherin and alpha-catenin. We show here that interaction of beta-catenin with alpha-catenin is regulated by the phosphorylation of beta-catenin Tyr-142. This residue can be phosphorylated in vitro by Fer or Fyn tyrosine kinases.

Adhesion molecules in Wilms tumor (part I) [PDF]
Adhesion molekues are glicoprotees which have extracellular, transmembranous and intracytoplasmatic part. They show their basic role is in cell interaction in the tissue on one side and between cells and matrix on the other side.

Background & Aims: β-catenin is a well-known effector of the Wnt pathway, and a key player in cadherin-mediated cell adhesion. Oncogenic mutations of β-catenin are very frequent in paediatric liver primary tumours.

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract are the single most common cause of renal failure in childhood. Advances in the care of children with renal failure has primarily focused on optimizing the supportive, although nonspecific, treatment of chronic kidney disease and in addressing ...

Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
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 ...

Expression of the E-cadherin-catenin complex in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Cadherins and catenins, mediators of intercellular interactions, play a major role in adhesion. Changes in their expression and functioning reflect invasive and metastatic properties of cancer cells.

Plakophilin-3 catenin associates with the ETV1/ER81 transcription factor to positively modulate gene activity. [PDF]
Members of the plakophilin-catenin sub-family (Pkp-1, -2, and -3) facilitate the linkage of desmosome junctional components to each other (e.g. desmosomal cadherins to desmoplakin) and the intermediate-filament cytoskeleton.

Scribble, Lgl1, and myosin IIA interact with α-/β-catenin to maintain epithelial junction integrity
E-cadherin-catenin complex together with the cytoskeleton, builds the core of Adherens junctions (AJs). It has been reported that Scribble stabilizes the coupling of E-cadherin with catenins promoting epithelial cell adhesion, but the mechanism remains ...

Functions of p120ctn in development and disease [PDF]
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.
