ZO-1 and ZO-2 Independently Determine Where Claudins Are Polymerized in Tight-Junction Strand Formation
A fundamental question in cell and developmental biology is how epithelial cells construct the diffusion barrier allowing them to separate different body compartments. Formation of tight junction (TJ) strands, which are crucial for this barrier, involves the polymerization of claudins, TJ adhesion molecules, in temporal and spatial manners. ZO-1 and ZO-2 are major PDZ-domain-containing TJ prote...
متن کاملDirect Binding of Three Tight Junction-Associated Maguks, Zo-1, Zo-2, and Zo-3, with the Cooh Termini of Claudins
ZO-1, ZO-2, and ZO-3, which contain three PDZ domains (PDZ1 to -3), are concentrated at tight junctions (TJs) in epithelial cells. TJ strands are mainly composed of two distinct types of four-transmembrane proteins, occludin, and claudins, between which occludin was reported to directly bind to ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3. However, in occludin-deficient intestinal epithelial cells, ZO-1/ZO-2/ZO-3 were still...
متن کاملTight junction proteins ZO-1, occludin, and claudins in developing and adult human perineurium.
In peripheral nerves, groups of Schwann cell-axon units are isolated from the adjacent tissues by the perineurium, which creates a diffusion barrier responsible for the maintenance of endoneurial homeostasis. The perineurium is formed by concentric layers of overlapping, polygonal perineurial cells that form tight junctions at their interdigitating cell borders. In this study, employing indirec...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibody 7H6 reacts with a novel tight junction-associated protein distinct from ZO-1, cingulin and ZO-2
The tight junction is an essential element of the intercellular junctional complex; yet its protein composition is not fully understood. At present, only three proteins, ZO-1 (Stevenson, B. R., J. D. Siliciano, M. S. Mooseker, and D. A. Goodenough. 1986. J. Cell Biol. 103:755-766), cingulin (Citi, S., H. Sabanay, R. Jakes, B. Geiger, and J. Kendrick-Jones. 1988. Nature (Lond.). 333:272-275) and...
متن کاملZO-1 mRNA and protein expression during tight junction assembly in Caco- 2 cells
We previously identified and characterized ZO-1 as a peripheral membrane protein specifically associated with the cytoplasmic surface of tight junctions. Here we describe the identification of partial cDNA sequences encoding rat and human ZO-1 and their use to study the assembly of tight junctions in the Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cell line. A rat cDNA was isolated from a lambda-gtll ex...
