Researchers uncover mechanism of protein complex maintaining cell polarity

A team led by Prof. Wang Chao and Prof. Huang Chengdong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the molecular mechanism of E-cadherin- Ankyrin-G (AnkG) complex assembly and its function in maintaining lateral membrane polarity. Their work is published in Nature Communications.
