Mechanotransduction at cell-matrix and cell-cell contacts.
Mechanical forces play an important role in the organization, growth, maturation, and function of living tissues. At the cellular level, many of the biological responses to external forces originate at two types of specialized microscale structures: focal adhesions that link cells to their surrounding extracellular matrix and adherens junctions that link adjacent cells. Transmission of forces f...
متن کاملVinculin phosphorylation differentially regulates mechanotransduction at cell–cell and cell–matrix adhesions
Cells experience mechanical forces throughout their lifetimes. Vinculin is critical for transmitting these forces, yet how it achieves its distinct functions at cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions remains unanswered. Here, we show vinculin is phosphorylated at Y822 in cell-cell, but not cell-matrix, adhesions. Phosphorylation at Y822 was elevated when forces were applied to E-cadherin and was r...
متن کاملXTH acts at the microfibril-matrix interface during cell elongation.
Sulphorhodamine-labelled oligosaccharides of xyloglucan are incorporated into the cell wall of Arabidopsis and tobacco roots, and of cultured Nicotiana tabacum cells by the transglucosylase (XET) action of XTHs. In the cell wall of diffusely growing cells, the subcellular pattern of XET action revealed a 'fibrillar' pattern, different from the xyloglucan localization. The fibrillar fluorescence...
متن کاملModeling and simulation of chemomechanics at the cell-matrix interface.
Chemomechanical characteristics of the extracellular materials with which cells interact can have a profound impact on cell adhesion and migration. To understand and modulate such complex multiscale processes, a detailed understanding of the feedback between a cell and the adjacent microenvironment is crucial. Here, we use computational modeling and simulation to examine the cell-matrix interac...
متن کاملOrganizing Junctions at the Cell-Cell Interface
The zonula adherens (ZA) is a specialized cadherin-based structure found at the contacts between epithelial cells. Meng et al. (2008) now identify a protein complex containing the microtubule minus-end-binding protein Nezha, which provides a critical link between microtubules and cadherins in ZA biogenesis and maintenance.
