Multicomponent analysis of junctional movements regulated by myosin II isoforms at the epithelial zonula adherens.

Multicomponent analysis of junctional movements regulated by myosin II isoforms at the epithelial zonula adherens.

The zonula adherens (ZA) of epithelial cells is a site of cell-cell adhesion where cellular forces are exerted and resisted. Increasing evidence indicates that E-cadherin adhesion molecules at the ZA serve to sense force applied on the junctions and coordinate cytoskeletal responses to those forces....
