Targeted mutation of plakoglobin in mice reveals essential functions of desmosomes in the embryonic heart. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1996
Plakoglobin (gamma-catenin), a member of the armadillo family of proteins, is a constituent of the cytoplasmic plaque of desmosomes as well as of other adhering cell junctions, and is involved in anchorage of cytoskeletal filaments to specific cadherins.

ISOLATION OF EPIDERMAL DESMOSOMES [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1974
A method is reported for the isolation of desmosomes in a high yield and of a purity suitable for biochemical analysis. The procedure utilizes the selective solubilizing action of citric acid-sodium citrate (CASC) buffer, pH 2.6, on the non-cornified layers of cow nose epidermis, followed by discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation ...

Desmosomal cadherins

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2002
New evidence from blocking desmosomal adhesion with anti-adhesion peptides reveals a role for desmosomes in cell positioning in morphogenesis. Desmosomal adhesion is necessary for the stability of adherens junctions in epithelial cell sheets. Knockout and mis-expression of desmosomal cadherins in mice suggests that they may function directly or ...

Cadherin flexibility provides a key difference between desmosomes and adherens junctions

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015
Desmosomes and adherens junctions are intercellular adhesive structures essential for the development and integrity of vertebrate tissue, including the epidermis and heart.

Desmoplakin Is Required Early in Development for Assembly of Desmosomes and Cytoskeletal Linkage [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1998
Desmosomes first assemble in the E3.5 mouse trophectoderm, concomitant with establishment of epithelial polarity and appearance of a blastocoel cavity. Throughout development, they increase in size and number and are especially abundant in epidermis and ...

Desmosomes and hemidesmosomes

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1993
Desmosomes and hemidesmosomes are extremely different in their molecular composition. Most of the protein and glycoprotein components are products of members of multigene families, but show specialization for plaque formation and intermediate filament attachment.
