Associations of Adherens Junctions with chemical compounds

  • Merlin colocalizes and interacts with adherens junction (AJ) components in confluent wild-type cells, suggesting that the lack of AJs and contact-dependent growth arrest in Nf2(-/-) cells directly results from the absence of merlin at sites of cell:cell contact [2].
  • Bazooka, a Par-3 homolog, is properly localized in the absence of adherens junctions, indicating that the formation of epithelial junctions is not the founding event of epithelial polarization [24].
  • The wild-type lck protein enhances CD4/MHC class II adhesion by augmenting the formation of CD4-associated adherens junctions whereas the elevated tyrosine kinase activity of the mutant p56lck decreases CD4-mediated cell adhesion by preventing the formation of these structures [25].
  • Phosphotyrosine has previously been found concentrated at adherens junctions, where bundles of actin filaments terminate, but video-enhanced contrast-differential interference contrast and confocal interference reflection microscopy demonstrated that the filopodial tips were not adherent to the substrate [26].
  • The estrogen-dependent c-JunER protein causes a reversible loss of mammary epithelial cell polarity involving a destabilization of adherens junctions [27].
