Tight junctions
cell cell
seal cells and create a largely impermeable border
prevent diffusion between apical and basallateral domains of cells
Adherens junctions
cell cell
both zonula adherens and desmosomes
use cadherins in homotypic binding
also use integrins to bind to the extracellular matrix
also bind cytoskeleton
primarily for strength
Channel Forming junctions
gap junctions
allow movement of small molecules and ions between two cells
allows for synchronization in heart
and positional information in embryo development
anchoring junctions
hemidesmosomes cell-matrix
Main components in tight junctions
claudins also occludins but claudins more characteristic
desmosomes
desmogleins and desmocollins in the middle
zonula adherens
connects actin bundle
cadherins mediate transmembrane
can tighten belt of actin with myosin to pinch off espeically during neural tube development
Pemphigus
skin blistering caused by antibodies towards desmogleins
composition of gap junction
connexon pores which are made from 6 connexins
Regulation of Gap Junction
pH
Ca
Extracellular signals
Types of binding in cell adhesion
1. homo
2. hetero
cell cell adhesion
allows for differentiation in embryo
cadherins
regulate calcium dependent cell cell adhesion
E and N cadherin
will separate based on type of cadherin cell expresses as well as the level the cell expresses
Selectins
mediate transient cell cell adhesions in the blood stream
binds oligosaccharides
necessary for WBC week adhesion and rolling in immune response
integrin
links with ECM
transmenbrane receptors
linked to cytoskeleton and binds to RGD domain in ECM proteins
binding is not static
binds ICAM
mediates transient cell cell adhesions in the blood stream
binds ICAM necessary for WBC strong adhesion and emigration
CAMS
cell adhesion molecules
N-cam
nerve
ICAM
immune response
glycosaminoglycans (GAG)
help make up the ground substance of the extracellular matrix and resists mechanical force
unbranched polysaccharide with repeating dissacharide 1. an amino sugar that is usually sulfated and 2. uronic acid
proteoglycans
help make up the ground substance of the extracellular matrix and resists mechanical force
Hyaluronan
lacks the sulfate so has tons of negative charges
huge molecule
synthesized from the basal side of the epithelial sheet
creates of cell free space for cell migration
allows for nutrient diffusion
withstands stress and space fills
Heparan sulfate
tons of negative charge and has sulfate
Decorin
the a small core protein of proteoglycans what GAGs attach to only attach one GAG
Type 1 collagen
fibril forming
polyproline helix
hydroxy proline and lysine present Glycine XY repeat so can fit together
lysine aldehydes in collagen 1
covalent cross linking
collagen synthesis
synthesized as a pro alpha fiber in the ER then triple helix formation then packaged into secretory vesicle as procollagen once outside the cell is cleaved to produce tropocollagen adn then they aggregate to form fibrils then fibrils aggregate to form fibers
Ehlers Danlos
problem with Type 3 collagen poor secretion and prematrue degredation
Elastin
highly crosslinked
Fibrillin
a component of microfibrils - essential to the integrity of elastin - gene mutated in Marfan’s syndrome
Marfan's syndrome
mutation in the FBN1 gene resulting in mutated fibrillin
disproportionate tall stature
mitral valve prolaps
aortic dilation and rupture
Fibronectin
binds to the ECM and mitigates cellular migration
Laminin
has binding sites which bind it to
basal lamina
itself to other parts of the basal lamina
Type IV Collagen
has a polyproline helix but interrupted 26 times so more flexible

prevents from forming fibrils
Three ways basal lamina organized
underlies tissues like epithelia
surrounds like muscle
acts as a filter around glomerulus
What secretes the extracellular matrix?
Fibroblasts
Why do gags give you a lot of water
because the negative charges on the sugar acids attract sodium which in turn attracts water
aggrecon
the long protein part of a poteoglycan many GAGs associated the test tube brush back bone
What step is Vitamin C needed for in the synthesis of collagen
It is needed for the functioning of prolohydroxylase and lysohydroxylase
Prolohydroxylase
hydroxylation of proline for collagen in pro alpha fibres
lysohydroxylase
hydroxylation of lysine for collage in pro alpha fibers
