Schematic representation of chimeric E-cadherins, αE-catenin, and its mutants. A, schematic representation of chimeric cadherins: E-cadherin fused to GFP (EcadGFP), E-cadherin fused after its transmembrane domain with WT αE-catenin (EcadαEcatGFP), or E-cadherin fused after its p120ctn binding site with an αE-catenin lacking the VH1 domain (EαMC). B, schematic representation of the WT αE-catenin fused to GFP at either the N or C terminus (αEcatGFP and αEcatGFP(c), respectively) and the respective GFP mutants, with GFP located at the N terminus.
