The Small GTPases Rho and Rac Are Required for the Establishment of Cadherin-dependent Cell–Cell Contacts

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell–cell adhesion molecules that require the interaction of the cytoplasmic tail with the actin cytoskeleton for adhesive activity. Because of the functional relationship between cadherin receptors and actin filament organization, we investigated whether members of t...
