α-Catenin can respond to myosinII-mediated forces in cell–cell junctions through a force-dependent interaction with vinculin that regulates adherens junction development.
Adherens junctions (AJs), which are organized by adhesion proteins and the underlying actin cytoskeleton, probably sense pulling forces from adjacent cells and modulate opposin...
