α-Catenin contributes to the strength of E-cadherin–p120 interactions
Cadherin–catenin interactions play an important role in cadherin adhesion. In the cadherin complex, α-catenin contributes to the binding strength of another catenin, p120, to the same complex. The data suggest that α-catenin–p120 contact within the cadherin–catenin complex can regulate cadherin trafficking
