Desmocollins form a distinct subset of the cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules.
The desmosomal adhesive core is formed by four major components: desmoglein (Mr, 165,000), desmocollins I and II (Mr, 120,000 and 110,000, respectively), and a Mr 22,000 protein. Here, we report the cloning and sequencing of cDNAs encoding a bovine desmocollin. The open reading frame found in the longest cDNA, 5 kilobases, contains a region encoding a protein of 839 amino acids. The features of...
متن کاملRoles played by a subset of integrin signaling molecules in cadherin-based cell–cell adhesion
Integrins can intercommunicate with cadherins. Here, we examined their possible relationship by use of small interfering RNA-mediated protein knockdown in HeLa cells. We found that a subset of integrin signaling molecules, namely Fak and paxillin, but not p130 Crk-associated substrate or proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2, participate in processes regulating N-cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion. Pax...
متن کاملA Role for the Cadherin Family of Cell Adhesion Molecules in Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation
The cadherins are a family of cell-cell adhesion molecules that mediate Ca2+-dependent homophilic interactions between cells and transduce signals by interacting with cytoplasmic proteins. In the hippocampus, immunostaining combined with confocal microscopy revealed that both neural- (N-) and epithelial- (E-) cadherin are present at synaptic sites, implying a role in synaptic function. Pretreat...

متن کاملCloning and sequence analysis of desmosomal glycoproteins 2 and 3 (desmocollins): cadherin-like desmosomal adhesion molecules with heterogeneous cytoplasmic domains
Desmosomal glycoproteins 2 and 3 (dg2 and 3) or desmocollins have been implicated in desmosome adhesion. We have obtained a 5.0-kb-long clone for dg3 from a bovine nasal epidermal lambda gt11 cDNA library. Sequence analysis of this clone reveals an open reading frame of 2,517 bases encoding a polypeptide of 839 amino acids. The sequence consists of a signal peptide of 28 amino acids, a precurso...
