A molecular mechanism directly linking E-cadherin adhesion to initiation of epithelial cell surface polarity

Mechanisms involved in maintaining plasma membrane domains in fully polarized epithelial cells are known, but when and how directed protein sorting and trafficking occur to initiate cell surface polarity are not. We tested whether establishment of the basolateral membrane domain and E-cadherin–media...
