Magnetic micromanipulation experiments reveal differences in cell stiffness as measured by bead displacement. Cells expressing the insS mutant cells are significantly less stiff (exhibit greater bead displacement) than cells expressing wildtype (wt) plakoglobin, whereas cells expressing the Naxos mutant exhibit similar stiffness to cells expressing wildtype plakoglobin (the thick horizontal bars show the median value and the thin verticle bars show the range in values between the 25th and 75th percentiles; n>60 for each group; * p<0.05 compared to wildtype).
