The authors also emphasise cadherin clustering and interactions with the actin cytoskeleton but more emphasis is placed on the regulation of the formation of cadherin dimers and proteins that mediate cadherin's lateral clustering and binding to actin filaments. Cytomechanical arguments have been advanced regarding the bidirectional influences between cell-cell adhesion and the actin/myosin network.

They found that the generation of force for cell locomotion depends on the 'rigidity' of the extracellular matrix upon which the cells crawl and describe how it happens in terms of the relationship between the integrins and the actin cytoskeleton.

By studying the movements of various NCAMs, including transmembrane and GPI (glycophosphatidylinositol)-anchored types, these authors found that the plasma membrane appears to be a mosaic containing regions that permit free diffusion as well as regions in which NCAM is transiently confined to small (300 nm) or more extended domains.

18. Evans E, Ritchie K Strength of a weak bond connecting flexible polymer chains. Biophys J. 76:1999;2439-2447. The strength of weak bonds connecting polymer chains was theoretically analysed. The effect of a polymer linkage is to weaken the strength of the bond from its expected logarithmic dependence, as a result of the non-linear force loading characteristics of the polymer linkage. A re-analysis of recent titin unfolding experiments showed this effect nicely.

Accurate measurements of the adhesive failure of biotin-avidin and biotin-streptavidin bonds were performed over a range of six orders-of-magnitude in the force-loading rate. The strength was found to be logarithmically dependent on the loading rate. This spectrum of strengths revealed the size and the position of the major energy barriers along the dissociation reaction pathway, which correlates well with predictions made from the receptor structures.

Triton-X-100-soluble proteins from cultured cells producing endogenous and recombinant forms of E-cadherin were subjected to sucrose gradient fractionation. Three distinct E-cadherin complexes were found: (i) one cadherin linked to a dimer composed of either β-catenin and α-catenin or plakoglobin and α-catenin, (ii) laterally-linked cadherin-catenin complexes via dimerization of the extracellular domain of E-cadherin, and (iii) two cadherin-catenin complexes derived from two opposing cells. The third complex is biologically most important and its formation required both extracellular calcium and catenin binding to cadherin as well as the amino acid residues in the amino-terminal domain that are responsible for lateral dimerization.

31. Ozawa M, Kemler R The membrane-proximal region of the E-cadherin cytoplasmic domain prevents dimerization and negatively regulates adhesion activity. J Cell Biol. 142:1998;1605-1613. When almost all of the cadherin cytoplasmic domain was removed (only 0 or 7 amino acids remaining in the juxtamembrane region), the molecule exhibited the ability to form dimers and induce cell aggregation (but not compaction). E-cadherin mutants with deletions of 31 or 71 carboxy-terminal amino acid residues (with 120 or 80 amino acids remaining in the juxtamembrane domain) have no ability to aggregate cells, suggesting that the juxtamembrane domain can prevent lateral dimerization.

A detailed analysis of the carboxy-terminal half of α-catenin identified the ZO-1 binding domain, which is responsible for the strong-state of adhesion in the cell dissociation assay. Its activity was lost by cytochalasin D treatment, suggesting that the interaction of α-catenin with the actin-based cytoskeleton through the ZO-1 binding domain is required for the strong state of E-cadherin-based cell adhesion activity.

Role of IQGAP1, a target of the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac1, in regulation of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion. Science. 281:1998;832-835. IQGAP1, a target of Cdc42 and Rac1, was localised in the cell-cell adhesion sites, and was found to interact with E-cadherin and β-catenin in vitro. IQGAP1 induced the dissociation of α-catenin from a cadherin-catenin complex both in vitro and in vivo, and reduced cell-cell adhesive activity. It was proposed that IQGAP1 regulates cell adhesion by dissociating cadherin from the actin cytoskeleton.

It appears that their roles are essentially complex, depending on the maturation status of the junction and the cellular context, indicating that caution must be used when interpreting data on the roles of Rho and Rac in cell-cell adhesion.

J Cell Biol. 142:1998;1105-1119. Using time-lapse imaging and photobleach recovery analyses of a fully functional E-cadherin tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP), the authors defined three sequential stages in cell-cell adhesion, which are marked by different interactions between cadherin and the actin cytoskeleton. A model was proposed in which the reorganisation of E-cadherin and actin cables results in the condensation of cells into colonies.

J Cell Biol. 140:1998;1227-1240. Translational movements of E-cadherin and its artificial mutants, and their regulation mechanisms were studied using single particle tracking and optical tweezers. It was concluded that the movements of the wild-type E-cadherin in the plasma membrane in transfected L cells are regulated via the cytoplasmic domain by tethering to actin filaments through catenin(s) and the corralling effect of the network of the membrane skeleton.

61. Tomishige M, Sako Y, Kusumi A Regulation mechanism of the lateral diffusion of band 3 in erythrocyte membranes by the membrane skeleton. J Cell Biol. 142:1998;989-1000. Mechanisms that regulate the movement of band 3 protein in erythrocyte ghosts were investigated at the single molecule level using single particle tracking with an enhanced time resolution (0.22 ms) and dragging by laser tweezers. The results indicated that the cytoplasmic portion of band 3 collides with the membrane skeleton, which causes temporal confinement of band 3 inside a membrane skeleton mesh of 110 nm in diameter for 350 ms on average. Band 3 molecules hop to adjacent meshes, which enables them to undergo macroscopic diffusion.

Neuron. 20:1998;1137-1151. Using the yeast two-hybrid system employing the Fyn unique domain as the bait protein, a novel cadherin-related neuronal receptor (Cnr) gene family (~20 genes) was found. The CNR1 protein is located in the synaptic junction and forms a complex with Fyn. The expression patterns of each member of this novel family were grossly similar to each other but were restricted to subpopulations of neurons of the same type.

An excellent review describing integrin-mediated-adhesion induced activation of Rho-family GTPases, and GTPase-dependent regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, which in turn controls the clustering of integrins into focal adhesions (which triggers the formation of filopodia, lamellapodia, and stress fibres), and thus bidirectional signalling. Many common concepts exist between the studies of cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesions, in particular clustering of adhesion molecules, and interactions with the cytoskeleton, in particular.
