Force-dependent allostery of the α-catenin actin-binding domain controls adherens junction dynamics and functions

Force-dependent allostery of the α-catenin actin-binding domain controls adherens junction dynamics and functions

Cell-cell adhesion mediated by catenin-cadherin complexes plays a critical role in translating the mechanical forces into physiological responses. Here the authors define a mechanism of force-dependent cadherin-actin linkage dynamically regulated through the actin-binding domain of α-catenin.
