Collagen assembly
Figure 06.15:
Proteoglycans such as
aggrecan complex
with collagen II fibers
in cartilage.
Figure 06.18:
Model of integrin
structure.
Figure 06.19:
Integrins are
organized into
subgroups that share
subunits.
Figure 06.22:
Differences in
shape and
composition in
integrin clusters.
Hemidesmosomes
contain 64 integrin
and link to the IF
network
cell surface junction
found at basal surface
of plasma membrane
of epithelial cells
Figure 06.24: Hemidesmosomes are
specialized structures that form at the
junction of epithelial cells and the
specialized extracellular matrix called
the basal lamina.
Tight junctions
3 types of
transmembrane
proteins found in the
tight junction:
claudins, occludins,
and the junctional
adhesion molecule
(JAM)
functions as a
permeability barrier
Figure 06.27:
Tight junctions
are held together
by occludin,
claudin, and
junctional
adhesion
molecules.
Figure 06.28: A
model of fast and
slow transport of
solutes through
tight junctions.
Adherens junction
hold epithelial and
endothelial cells together
resist stress
zonula adherens
adhesive junctions in
synapses
intercalated disks between
adjacent cardiac muscle
cells
junctions between layers of
myelin sheath
Desmosome
thick accumulations of fibrils
running across gap between
two plasma membranes of
epithelial cells
fibrils terminate in electrondense material on cytosolic
side of plasma membrane
electron-dense patches are
connected to filaments in
cytosol of each cell
