- Proteoglycans
1
Q
Basement Membrane 2 components
A
- basal lamina, produced by epithelium
- reticular lamina, connective tissue
2
Q
Laminin
A
- Major component of BL
- 3 chains: alpha, beta, gamma
- binding sites for integrins, type IV, entactin, and proteoglycans
3
Q
Type IV collagen
A
- doesn’t form fibrils like type I
- prodcued by epithelial cell, unlike type I which is secreted by fibroblast
4
Q
Fibronectin
A
- protein made up of two polypeptide chains cross-linked by disulfide bonds
- Cellular, produced by fibroblasts, part of extracellular matrix
- Plasma, secreted into bloodstream by hepatocytes
5
Q
Fibronectin binding sites
A
- can bind to themselves and others, forming EM support chain
- Heparin (proteoglycan)
- Integrins
- Collagen
- Fibrin
6
Q
Calcium Dependent CAMs
A
- cadherins
- selectins
7
Q
Calcium Independent CAMs
A
- integrins
- Immunoglobulin superfamily molecules
8
Q
Classical Cadherins
A
- major components in Ca mediated adherens junctions

9
Q
Nonclassical Cadherins
A
- desmocollins and desmogleins
- found in desmosomes (macula adherens)
10
Q
Homophilic Dimers
A
- two similar molecules that bind together
- cis, two identical bin from same cell
- trans, two identical from different cells bind
11
Q
E-cadherins
A
- found in epithelial tissue, most common
- adhere to one another
- HVA binding face
- loss associated with invasive behavior of tumors
12
Q
N-cadherins
A
-found in nerve cells
13
Q
P-cadherins
A
-found in the placenta
14
Q
HVA binding face
A
- histidine-valine-alanine sequence
- found at tip of extracellular end of cadherin
- facilitates formation of trans-homophilic (lets one bind to another)
- Ca binds to four extracellular domains to facilitate cis
15
Q
Catenins
A
- small proteins that link cytoplasmic end of cadherin with actin
- three forms alpha, beta, gamma
- serve as major interface between cadherins that hold adjacent cells together and the actin cyto of those cells
16
Q
Beta and Gamma catenins
A
- plakoglobin catenins
- attach to cytoplasmic end of a cadherin
- beta also serve as transcription cofactor
- beta attached to alpha catenin
17
Q
Alpha Catenin
A
-binds directly to cytoplasmic actin
18
Q
Selectins
A
- bind to carbs, belong to lectin
- bind on carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD)
- Ca required to bind on CRD
- involved in movement of leukocytes (blood cells) to tissues (extravasation)
19
Q
Classes of Selectins
A
- P-selectins: platelets
- E-selectins: activated endothelial cells
- L-selectins: leukocytes
20
Q
Integrins
A
- glycoproteins involved in cell-extracellular matrix interactions
- bind to both EM and cytoplasm
- two subunits, one alpha (17 kinds) one beta (8 kinds)
- extracellular domains bind to fibronectin, laminin
- interact with RGD (arg-gly-asp)
21
Q
Connecting Proteins
A
-talin, vinculin, alpha-actinin
22
Q
Tonofilaments
A
- in hemidesmosomes, integrins link basal domains via intracellural tono
- resist tension
23
Q
Immunogobulin Superfamily
A
- possess an extracellular segment with 1 or more folded domains
- N-CAM: neural adhesion molecules, mediate homo and heterophilic interactions
- I-CAM-1, I-CAM-2: facilitate transendothelial mmigration of leukcytes
24
Q
Adherens
A
- Junctional complex, anchor cells together and reinforce integrity
- found on basolateral surfaces of epithelial cells
25
Q
Occludens
A
- junctional complex, establish an impermeable barrier etween cells
- prevent paracellular transport
26
Q
Gap Junctions
A
- composed of molecular pores, enable cells to rapidly exchange ions
- can shut down if injured
27
Q
Zonula
A
- tight junction, can be adherens or occludens
- travel around cell and link neighboring cells
- belt-lie complexes
- associated with intracellular actin
28
Q
Macula
A
- spot or snap-like junction
- adherens, desmosomes or hemi
- intracellular intermediates (tonofilaments)
29
Q
Adherens
A
- anchoring junctions characterized by intercellular spaces
- spaces filled with cadherin protiens
- desmogleins, desmocollins
- cadherin proteins anchored to cyto plaques containing desmopakin, plakoglobin
30
Q
Desmogleins
A
- 1 & 2 found in epidermis
- autoantibodies to 1 result in pemphigus foiaceus
31
Q
Heidesmosomes
A
- anchor basal domain of epithelial to basal lamina
