Q

functions of cell adhesion molecules

A

structurally link the cell to the outside (other cell or matrix) and they are cell signaling complexes
other proteins can bind in cytoplasmic domain “plaque proteins” seen in structures like desmosomes

Q

cadherins

A

proteins that span membrane; bind to other proteins on cell membrane
requires calcium
structural and signaling roles;

Actin binds to anchor protein, anchor protein binds to cadherin which traverses membrane and binds another cadherin which traverses membrane and binds to anchor porotein and then bind to actin in cytoskeleton
- structurally glued and one cell will respond to mechanical stress of another cell

A

alpha and beta subunit form a dimer which will bind to ECM
predominantly laminin or fibronectin (RGD domain);
bind to cytoskeleton

homophilic- bind to identical proteins expressed by neighboring cell heterophilic- bind to proteins from same family but different genes
or

Q

Zonula occludens intracellular plaque protein

17
Q

Zonula occludens filament

18
Q

ZOT

A

zonula occludens toxin
binds to receptor on surface of cell and is transported into cell by cell’s endocytotic mechanism
alter cellular signaling and lead to disassembly of zonula occludens
bacteria can invade host epithelia and increase movement of water into lumen of gut–> diarrhea
cholera is example

19
Q

zonula adherens

A

fascia adherens
circles entire cell
larger distance between membranes- junction has cadherin which goes through membrane and binds to protein in cytoplasm;
provide structure and strength to tissue and barriers to movement between cells

20
Q

zonula adherens linker transmembrane

21
Q

zonula adherens intracellular plaque protein

A

cell signaling: alpha, beta, gamma catenin; skeletal components: vinculin and alpha actinin

22
Q

zonula adherens filament

23
Q

desmosomes

A

spot welds;

cadherin binding to plaque protein binding to keratin

24
Q

macula adherens linker transmembrane

A

desmosome;

linker is cadherin (desmocollins and desmoglein)

25
macula adherens intracellular plaque protein
anchor proteins [plakophilin--plakoglobin (gamma-catenin)]--desmoplakin
26
macula adherens filament
intmdt filaments (keratin)
27
gap junctions
hole between cells allowing for free diffusion of ions made up of six connexin proteins that form a hemi-pore on one membrane which will line up with hemipore on another membrane and form a pore
28
size of molecules which can pass through gap junctions
1400 daltons | ATP, calcium, small proteins, etc
29
hemidesmosome
spot weld at bottom of the cell that connects cell with extracellular matrix in the basal lamina
30
what proteins are targeted in Bullous pemphigoid?
BP180-membrane spanning complex | and BP230- attaches to keratin
31
linker transmembrane for hemidesmosome
integrins (alpha6 and beta4) | binds to laminin in ecm
32
intracellular plaque protein hemidesmosome
plectin, BP230
33
filament hemidesmosome
intermediate filament
34
focal adhesion
mechanical and signaling complex
35
linker transmembrane for focal adhesion
integrins
36
intracellular plaque protein for focal adhesion
talin, vinculin, alpha-actinin, FAK (focal adhesion kinase), src kinase, Ras, Raf, Grb2, SoS
37
filament for focal adhesion
actin
38
mechanical stress does what to focal adhesion
mechanical stress results in activation of kinases associated with focal adhesion--> activate MAP kinase pathway and signal nucleus to upregulate formation of adhesion and lead to actin meshwork formation
