Synaptopodin is required for stress fiber and contractomere assembly at the epithelial junction

T. Morris, E. Sue, C. Geniesse, W. M. Brieher, V. W. Tang

This paper identifies synaptopodin-dependent actomyosin structures at epithelial junctions and describes their role in force generation and cell geometry regulation.

Interdigitated dynamic actin protrusions maintain stable cadherin adhesion

J. X. H. Li, V. W. Tang, W. M. Brieher

The paper shows that actin polymerization drives membrane protrusions that stabilize cadherin adhesion without requiring myosin contractility or cadherin clustering.

Actin protrusions push on E-cadherin to maintain epithelial cell-cell adhesion

J. X. H. Li, V. W. Tang, W. M. Brieher

The paper identifies actin protrusions that push E-cadherin to maintain epithelial cell-cell adhesion by preventing myosin II-dependent unzipping of adhesive bonds.
