Biochemical and biophysical analyses of tight junction permeability made of claudin-16 and claudin-19 dimerization
8 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
The molecular nature of tight junction architecture and permeability is a long-standing mystery. Here, by comprehensive biochemical, biophysical, genetic, and electron microscopic analyses of claudin-16 and -19 interactions--two claudins that play key polygenic roles in fatal human renal disease, FHHNC--we found that 1) claudin-16 and -19 form a stable dimer through cis association of transmembrane domains 3 and...
