The increased adhesiveness is expected as the adhesion complex molecules moved to the cells' periphery.
Horton, E. R. et al. Definition of a consensus integrin adhesome and its dynamics during adhesion complex assembly and disassembly.
Alpha 1(E -catenin is an actin-binding and -bundling protE -cateninisg the antachment of F-actin to the membrand adhesion complex.
ILK may bridge RhoT1 to some component(s) of the adhesion complex, which may mediate some modifications on RhoT1 that in turn inhibit its association with TRAK2.
Paranodal junctions are the largest vertebrate junctional adhesion complex, and they are essential for rapid saltatory conduction and contribute to assembly and maintenance of nodes.

Mutations in constituent proteins cause severe blistering skin disorders by disrupting the adhesion complex.
Cell adhesion was assessed by quantifying the cell spreading area, actin cytoskeleton organization and focal adhesion complex formation.
Caspases attack targets of the cortical actin network such as fodrin, and several components of the focal adhesion complex which links cortical actin filaments and membrane proteins to the extracellular matrix.
Humphries and colleagues analyse proteomic data of integrin adhesion complexes to derive a consensus integrin adhesome and characterize the temporal dynamics of adhesome component recruitment during adhesion complex assembly and disassembly.
We provide the first evidence that the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor UNC-73/Trio, members of the WAVE actin-polymerization complex, and a homolog of the focal adhesion complex can function downstream of UNC-40 to direct membrane extension.
