High impact information on CLDN9

  • In this junction, claudins partition into claudin-14 and claudin-9/6 subdomains that are distinguishable by strand morphology, which contrasts with in vitro data that most claudins co-assemble into heteromeric strands [1].
  • We also find that catenins colocalize with claudin-9 and claudin-6, but not claudin-14, in a heterologous system [1].
  • Surprisingly, canonical adherens junction proteins (p120ctn, alpha- and beta-catenins) colocalize with the claudin-9/6 subdomain and recruit a dense cytoskeletal network [1].
