Exposing p120 Catenin's Most Intimate Affair
p120-catenin regulates cell-cell adhesion by controlling cell surface retention of cadherin. In this issue, Ishiyama et al. (2010) present the first crystal structure of p120 in complex with cadherin, revealing molecular details of the functional interface and providing sophisticated new tools for dissecting p120's role in cell-cell adhesion.
متن کاملVertebrate development requires ARVCF and p120 catenins and their interplay with RhoA and Rac
Using an animal model system and depletion-rescue strategies, we have addressed the requirement and functions of armadillo repeat gene deleted in velo-cardio-facial syndrome (ARVCF) and p120 catenins in early vertebrate embryogenesis. We find that xARVCF and Xp120 are essential to development given that depletion of either results in disrupted gastrulation and axial elongation, which are specif...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor stimulates dephosphorylation of the catenins p120 and p100 in endothelial cells.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelium-specific mitogen that induces angiogenesis and increases vascular permeability. These processes involve regulation of cell-cell adhesion, but molecular mechanisms have yet to be fully established. p120, also termed p120(ctn), and its variant p100 are catenins which associate with cadherins and localize to adherens junctions. VEGF was r...
متن کاملDephosphorylation of the catenins p120 and p100 in endothelial cells in response to inflammatory stimuli.
Inflammatory mediators such as histamine and thrombin increase the tight-junction permeability of endothelial cells. Tight-junction permeability may be independently controlled, but is dependent on the adherens junction, where adhesion is achieved through homotypic interaction of cadherins, which in turn are associated with cytoplasmic proteins, the catenins. p120, also termed p120(cas)/p120(ct...
متن کاملInteractants' Most Intimate Self-disclosure in Interactions with Virtual Humans
Recent studies have shown that virtual humans can facilitate social interactions among people who have difficulty in forming social bonds or help develop their social skills by interaction with virtual practice. Virtual human research tends to focus exclusively on appearance or behavior in assessing agent effectiveness, whereas other studies of human social interaction emphasize aspects of the ...
