Claudins in occluding junctions of humans and flies

Trends in Cell Biology
Mikio Furuse, Shoichiro Tsukita

Abstract

The epithelial barrier is fundamental to the physiology of most metazoan organ systems. Occluding junctions, including vertebrate tight junctions and invertebrate septate junctions, contribute to the epithelial barrier function by restricting free diffusion of solutes through the paracellular route. The recent identification and characterization of claudins, which are tight junction-associated adhesion molecules, gives insight into the molecular architecture of tight junctions and their barrier-forming mechanism in vertebrates. Mice lacking the expression of various claudins, and human hereditary diseases with claudin mutations, have revealed that the claudin-based barrier function of tight junctions is indispensable in vivo. Interestingly, claudin-like molecules have recently been identified in septate junctions of Drosophila. Here, we present an overview of recent progress in claudin studies conducted in mammals and flies.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.
