Journal of Cell Science 1994 107: 3315-3324;

Summary

MDCK and JTC cells were subjected to ATP depletion by treating the cells with 10 microM antimycin A and 10 mM 2-deoxyglucose. As visualized by confocal fluorescence microscopy, E-cadherin and Na+,K(+)-ATPase were rapidly internalized following depletion of the intracellular ATP stores. The time course of internalization was similar to the depolymerization of the cortical actin network and dissolution of the actin ring (see companion paper, this volume, pp. 3301–3313). Cell surface biotinylation was used to assay the amount of surface-accessible E-cadherin and Na+,K(+)-ATPase during ATP depletion. At 30 minutes of ATP depletion, 74% and 69% of E-cadherin and Na+,K(+)-ATPase were internalized, respectively, in MDCK cells. By 60 minutes of ATP depletion, internalization increased to 95% and 89%, respectively. The redistribution of both plasma membrane proteins was not microtubule dependent. Similar results were observed in JTC cells. Total biotinylated protein decreased by 67% and 82%, after 30 minutes and 60 minutes of ATP depletion, respectively. The E-cadherin internalization strongly suggests that disruption of adherens junctions occurred following ATP depletion. These results, along with the previously described loss of tight junction integrity, suggest that ATP depletion may be a useful method to study the assembly and disassembly of junctional complexes in epithelial cells.

2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.

Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.

Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.

JCS and COVID-19

For more information on measures Journal of Cell Science is taking to support the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, please see here.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hestiate to contact the Editorial Office.
