Abstract

Cell adhesions consist of multimolecular protein complexes of transmembrane adhesion receptors anchoring intracellular cytoskeletal structural proteins and signal transduction molecules. Recent advances reveal that components of cell adhesion complexes display multiple interactions and functions, which cooperate to mediate both cell adhesion and signaling. Cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesions can serve as both recipients and generators of signaling information, using hierarchical and synergistic molecular interactions regulated by aggregation, conformational changes, phosphorylation, and tension.

      Activation of integrins is required for ligand binding to their extracellular region, which is mediated from the integrin-expressing cell itself, thereby regulating its attachment to surrounding components (“inside-out” signaling).17,18 Ligand binding to integrins in turn induces intracellular signaling cascades, influencing critical cellular processes such as differentiation and proliferation (“outside-in” signaling).19 This differential bidirectional regulation is mediated by conformational changes in the extracellular part of the integrin.
