Cadherins trade bonds
Cadherins trade bonds C adherins are transmembrane, calcium-dependent adhesion molecules that assemble into ad-herens junctions to connect neighboring cells. Hong et al. reveal how cadherins regulate junction dynamics by changing their adhesive bonds (1). Adherens junctions must rapidly assemble and disassemble to accommodate continuous cell movements within tissues (2). This creates a fundamen...

متن کاملO-mannosylation of cadherins.
Two reports in PNAS by Vester-Christensen et al. (1) and Lommel et al. (2) provide critical new insight into how a unique family of glycans contributes to early embryonic development, brain development, and malignant transformation. Following transfer of mannose (Man) to Ser or Thr by protein Omannosyltransferase (POMT), either POMT1 or POMT2, the O-Man can be further modified with N-acetylgluc...
متن کاملCadherins as Matchmakers
Cadherins implement afferent-target matching in invertebrates, but proof for this concept in mammalian circuits has remained elusive. Two new studies in this issue of Neuron show that cadherin-6 mediates retinal ganglion cell target selection and that cadherin-9 promotes synapse specificity in the hippocampus.
