Plakoglobin: kinetics of synthesis, phosphorylation, stability, and interactions with desmoglein and E-cadherin

Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton

Abstract

We have analyzed the kinetics of synthesis, phosphorylation, and stability of the soluble and insoluble plakoglobin (PG) and their interactions with Dsg1 and E-cadherin in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells in the absence of cell adhesion and after the induction of cell-cell contact. Using a combination of biochemical and morphological approaches, we show that newly synthesized PG enters a soluble:insoluble pool of proteins in a 60:40 ratio regardless of cell-cell contact. Following synthesis, PG is increasingly found in the insoluble pool. Although cell-cell contact does not effect either the size of each pool or the rate or efficiency of the transfer from the soluble into the insoluble pool, it results in a significant increase in the metabolic stability of the newly synthesized insoluble PG. The soluble PG initially forms separate complexes with E-cadherin and Dsg1. PG-Dsg1 complexes become insoluble and localize to the desmosome. PG-E-cadherin complexes remain soluble and are distributed intracellularly. The insoluble PG and E-cadherin detected at the cell periphery remain distinctly separate, as demonstrated previously [Hinck et al., 1994: J. Cell Biol. 125:1327-1340; Nathke et al., 1994: J. Cell Biol. 125:1...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
