cell-cell junction assembly
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a junction between cells. [GOC:ai]
Cell-cell junction assembly is a fundamental biological process that allows cells to adhere to each other, forming tissues and organs. This intricate process involves a series of coordinated events, starting with the initial recognition and interaction between adjacent cells.
The process begins with the engagement of transmembrane adhesion molecules, such as cadherins and integrins, located on the cell surface. These molecules bind to their respective counterparts on neighboring cells, triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling events.
As adhesion molecules cluster together, they recruit adaptor proteins and cytoskeletal components, such as actin and microtubules, to the site of contact. This assembly of proteins forms a complex network that provides structural support and stability to the junction.
The organization of the cytoskeleton plays a crucial role in shaping the junctions and mediating their dynamics. Actin filaments, for example, contribute to the formation of adherens junctions, which are essential for cell-cell adhesion.
The assembly of cell-cell junctions is tightly regulated by a complex interplay of signaling pathways. Signaling molecules, such as growth factors and cytokines, can influence the expression and activity of adhesion molecules, thereby modulating junction formation.
In addition to structural integrity, cell-cell junctions also play important roles in cell communication and signal transduction. They provide channels for the passage of ions, nutrients, and signaling molecules between cells, facilitating coordinated cell behavior and tissue function.
Furthermore, cell-cell junctions contribute to the establishment and maintenance of tissue polarity, ensuring the proper organization and function of cells within a tissue. They also play a critical role in regulating cell growth and differentiation.
The assembly of cell-cell junctions is a highly dynamic process, with junctions constantly forming, remodeling, and breaking down in response to developmental cues, environmental changes, and cellular needs. This dynamic nature allows tissues to adapt to changing conditions and maintain their integrity.'
