The Impact of Pathogenic and Artificial Mutations on Claudin-5 Selectivity from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
2023-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Tight junctions (TJs) are multi-protein complexes at the interface between adjacent endothelial or epithelial cells. In the blood-brain barrier (BBB), they are responsible for sealing the paracellular spaces and their backbone is formed by Claudin-5 (Cldn5) proteins. Despite the important role in preserving brain homeostasis, little is known on how Cldn5 oligomers assemble. Different structural models have been su...
