Answer:

Actin filament and intermediate filament.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adhering junction is a type of cell-cell junction that is present in endothelial and epithelial cells. Cadherin, catenin and plakoglobin are the different proteins present in the adhering junction.

Adhering junction cytoplasmic face is attached with the actin filament of the cell. This junction also show attachment with the intermediate filament of the cell. Desmosomes joins the intermediate filament of adheren junction.

Thus, the answer is Intermediate filament and actin filament.
