E-cadherin mediates adherens junction organization through protein kinase C

JE Lewis, PJ Jensen, KR Johnson and MJ Wheelock
Department of Biology, University of Toledo, OH 43606.

Cultured human keratinocytes maintained in 30 microM Ca2+ do not form adherens junctions; however, when the extracellular Ca2+ concentration is raised to 1 mM, adherens junctions form very rapidly. The formation of a junction involves the coordinate organization of intracellular and extracellular components. Cadherins have been shown to mediate this coordinate organization. In this report we show that E-cadherin organizes the various junctional components by signalling through protein kinase C.
