Abstract excerpt
Cooperation between cadherins and the actin cytoskeleton controls the formation and maintenance of cell-cell adhesions in epithelia. We find that the molecular motor protein myosin-1c (Myo1c) regulates the dynamic stability of E-cadherin-based cell-cell contacts. In Myo1c-depleted Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, E-cadherin localization was dis-organized and lateral membranes appeared less vertical with...
