You are investigating the activity of different cadherins in cells. You use recombinant DNA technology to express GFP-E-cadherin (green) in some L-cells (which do not normally contain cadherin) and YFP-P-cadherin (yellow) in other L-cells

Explain results you expect in three cultures containing: (1) only cells expressing GFP-E-cadherin, (2) only cells expressing YFP-P-cadherin, and (3) a mixture of GFP-E-cadherin-expressing and YFP-P-cadherin-expressing cells. Also predict how (a) knocking down the ability of the cells to synthesize fibronectin (FN) or (b) adding EGTA, which depletes free Ca2+ concentration in the culture medium, might affect the results. What will be an ideal response?
