摘要

Adherens junctions consist of cadherin clusters associated with distinct sets of cytosolic proteins. A synergy between two types of intercadherin interactions – trans (or adhesive) intercadherin interactions and indirect, through α-catenin, cadherin interactions with actin filaments – drives formation of cadherin clusters involved in cell–cell adhesion. The common theme of both interactions is their strengthening by pulling forces, which not only stabilize conformational changes of the corresponding binding domains, but also enhance linear (or cis) oligomerization of these domains. A repertoire of alternative clustering mechanisms appears to diversify intercadherin interactions forming a mosaic of functionally distinct clusters within a single adherens junction. The cell–cell connections in adherens junctions (AJs) are mediated by transmembrane receptors, type I cadherins (referred to here as cadherins). These cadherin-based connections (or trans bonds) are weak. To upregulate their strength, cadherins exploit avidity, the increased affinity of binding between cadherin clusters compared with isolated monomers. Formation of such clusters is a unique molecular process that is driven by a synergy of direct and indirect cis interactions between cadherins located at the same cell. In addition to their role in adhesion, cadherin clusters provide structural scaffolds for cytosolic proteins, which implicate cadherin into different cellular activities and signaling pathways. The cluster lifetime, which depends on the actin cytoskeleton, and on the mechanical forces it generates, determines the strength of AJs and their plasticity. The key aspects of cadherin adhesion, therefore, cannot be understood at the level of isolated cadherin molecules, but should be discussed in the context of cadherin clusters.
