Abstract

The homeostasis of adherens junctions was studied using E-cadherin and its two mutants tagged by the photoconvertible protein Dendra2 in epithelial A-431 cells and in CHO cells lacking endogenous cadherin. The first mutant contained point mutations of two elements, Lys738 and the dileucine motif that suppressed cadherin endocytosis. The second mutant contained, in addition, an extensive truncation that uncoupled the mutant from beta-catenin and p120. Surprisingly, the intact cadherin and its truncated mutant were recruited into the junctions with identical kinetics. The full-size cadherin was actively removed from the junctions by a process that was unaffected by the inactivation of its endocytic elements. The cadherin's apparent half-residence time in the junction was about 2 min. Cadherin clusters made of the truncated mutant exhibited much slower but ATP-independent junctional turnover. Taken together, our experiments showed that adherens junction homeostasis consists of three distinctive steps: cadherin spontaneous recruitment, its lateral catenin-dependent association, and its active release from the resulting clusters. The latter process, whose mechanism is not clear, may play an important role in various kinds of normal ...Continue Reading

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

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.
