Fuchs Alpha-catenin: at the junction of intercellular adhesion and actin dynamics Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 5 2004 614 625 The authors show that formin-1 interacts with α-catenin at adherens junctions and can nucleate actin filament polymerization. Most importantly, defects in cell-cell adhesion observed in α-catenin-deficient keratinocytes are rescued by expression of a fusion protein containing the β-catenin binding site of α-catenin and the actin-nucleation domain of formin-1.

Malenka Beta-catenin is critical for dendritic morphogenesis Nat Neurosci 6 2003 1169 1177 In this paper, the authors describe a central function for N-cadherin and β-catenin in arborization of dendritic processes. In addition, they show that membrane depolarization can induce dendrite growth in neurons, which is Wnt- and β-catenin-dependent and involves N-cadherin. However, TCF/LEF-mediated signaling appears not to be involved in this process.

Furthermore, ADAM10-deficient fibroblasts show increased cell-cell adhesion, increased cell-surface levels of N-cadherin, increased cell-surface-associated β-catenin, and decreased levels of β-catenin signaling.
