Abstract excerpt
To investigate the formation mechanism of tight junctions (TJs), we constructed three claudin-1 mutants which varied in their COOH-termini and expressed them in MDCK cells under the control of doxycycline. The differences between these constructs are that a putative ZO-1 binding sequence (KDYV) at the COOH-terminus of claudin-1 was deleted (DeltaCmyc) or present (1CLmyc and DeltaCmycYV), or that a myc-epitope was...
