Probing the<i>cis</i>-arrangement of prototype tight junction proteins claudin-1 and claudin-3
9 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Claudins form a large family of TJ (tight junction) proteins featuring four transmembrane segments (TM1-TM4), two extracellular loops, one intracellular loop and intracellular N- and C-termini. They form continuous and branched TJ strands by homo- or heterophilic interaction within the same membrane (cis-interaction) and with claudins of the opposing lateral cell membrane (trans-interaction). In order to clarify...
