Figure 1
Types of regulation of cadherin-mediated adhesion. Regulation can occur at different levels: rapid cell-surface regulation of adhesion (top); adherens junction formation associated with major changes in cell states, such as the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (middle); or control of the biogenesis or turnover of cell junctions (bottom).

The cadherin–catenin complex and its interaction with other proteins. (A) The core cadherin–catenin complex. Δ-Catenin seems to be similar to p120ctn (Lu et al. 1999). (B) Protein interactions that mediate the association of α-catenin with the actin cytoskeleton. (C) Signaling proteins known to be associated with the cadherin–catenin complex.
