δ-Catenins couple cadherin adhesions to phospholipid-rich membrane domains

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms by which Pkp4, a δ-catenin, is recruited to adherens junctions: one via cadherin binding and another via phospholipid-rich membrane domains.

Two δ-Catenins, Plakophilin 4 and p120, Promote Formation of Distinct Types of Adherens Junctions

This study identifies how p120 and plakophilin 4 regulate distinct adherens junction types through different cadherin clustering mechanisms in epithelial cells.

Characterization of early and late events of adherens junction assembly

This study investigates how actin-binding domain interactions with actin and catenins contribute to the formation and maturation of adherens junctions through oligomerization and reorganization.
