The right choices are as follow:
(A) focal contact
(B) integrin
(C) the actin cytoskeleton
(D) adherence junction
(E) cadherin
(F) the actin cytoskeleton
Explanation:
Focal adhesion (focal contact): It is a type of adhesive contact in which the cell and ECM interact through the transmembrane proteins integrins with their extracellular ligands, and intracellular multiprotein assemblies connected to the actin cytoskeleton.
The integrins are the major trans-membrane receptors that facilitate dynamic interactions between the ECM and the actin cytoskeleton for cell motility.
Adherence junction: It provide stable interaction between ECM and epithellial cell in which the cytosolic adaptor proteins complex facilitate the connection between cadherins and actin cytoskeleton.
choices for A: hemidesmosomes, focal contacts, desmosomes, adherens junctions choices for B: integrin, cadherin, occludin choices...
Adherens junctions are ____ (select all). a. are formed by calcium dependent cadherin proteins b. form water tight connections between epithelial layers c. can alter cell shape by interacting with microfilaments d. generate forces to change cell shape by interacting with kinesin and dynein
