A schematic overview of the cadherin-catenin complex in C. elegans. The classic cadherin, HMR-1, interacts intracellularly with JAC-1/p120 catenin and HMP-2/beta-catenin; HMP-2 recruits HMP-1/alpha-catenin to the junction (4). HMP-1 anchors circumferential actin filaments that transmit actomyosin generated forces required for elongation of the C. elegans embryo to the cell junction (2, 4, 26). The claudin-like protein VAB-9 also localizes to this region (14).
