Structural basis of αE-catenin-F-actin catch bond behavior

X.-P. Xu, S. Pokutta, M. Torres, M. F. Swift, D. Hanein, N. Volkmann, W. I. Weis

The paper describes the cryo-EM structure of E-catenin's actin-binding domain and explains how mechanical force affects its binding to F-actin, revealing the mechanism of catch bond behavior.
