Down-regulation of desmosomes in cultured cells: the roles of PKC, microtubules and lysosomal/proteasomal degradation.
Desmosomes are intercellular adhesive junctions of major importance for tissue integrity. To allow cell motility and migration they are down-regulated in epidermal wound healing. Electron microscopy indicates that whole desmosomes are internalised by cells in tissues, but the mechanism of down-regul...
