摘要

alpha-catenin exists as part of the cadherin-catenin adhesion complex as well as in a cytoplasmic pool. However, which of these pools is responsible for its biological impact remains controversial. A structure-function analysis in Drosophila melanogaster illuminates how the molecular properties of alpha-catenin translate into functional outcomes in an intact organism.
