Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations, equilibrium binding measurements, and fluorescence imaging reveal the influence of a key salt bridge in the mechanical activation of α-catenin at intercellular adhesions. Simulations reveal possible α-catenin conformational changes underlying experimental fluorescence and equilibrium binding data.
