... with increased junctional tension, suggesting that MRP may play a role in focal adhesion-adherens junction cross talk. Together, our results are consistent with a key role for MRP in cytoskeletal organization of cell contacts in epithelial cells. References Anderson , J. M. , Stevenson , B. R...

... their overall structural stability and relative immobility. Cell-cell adhesion is mediated by various families of plasma membrane proteins. These proteins assemble into ultrastructurally defined entities upon the stabilization of cell contacts and recruit cytoplasmic polypeptides, which in turn interact...

Detailed analysis of the distributions of marker proteins during the morphogenesis of these three-dimensional structures indicates that: (1) cell-cell contact is sufficient to trigger the segregation of marker proteins of the apical...
