High impact information on Tight Junctions

  • Here, we report that virus attachment to DAF on the apical cell surface activates Abl kinase, triggering Rac-dependent actin rearrangements that permit virus movement to the tight junction [7].
  • Mutations in the gene encoding tight junction claudin-14 cause autosomal recessive deafness DFNB29 [8].
  • The claudin family of genes is known to express protein components of tight junctions in other tissues [8].
  • Our results demonstrate that OSP is the mediator of parallel-array tight junction strands and distinguishes this protein from other intrinsic membrane proteins in tight junctions [9].
  • These novel results provide direct evidence of the pivotal role of the claudin family in generating the paracellular physical barrier of tight junctions necessary for spermatogenesis and normal CNS function [9].

Associations of Tight Junctions with chemical compounds

  • The luminal clefts, which permit free inward diffusion of tracers, present no tight junctions, but do have septate junctions [24].
  • Tight junctions, membrane-associated guanylate kinases and cell signaling [25].
  • Permeability of paracellular shunt pathways is increase by transmucosal osmotic gradients, and in certain epithelia these changes are associated with bullous-like deformations (blisters) of the zonula occludens and localization of lanthanum within junctional complexes [26].
  • We have previously shown that Na(+)-coupled transport of glucose and amino acids across the apical membrane of intestinal absorptive cells is accompanied by alterations in cytoskeletal structure and altered sieving of small hydrophilic solutes by tight junctions [27].
  • Under control situations ruthenium red penetrated less than 10% of the tight junctions [2].
