Occludin Phosphorylation in Regulation of Epithelial Tight Junctions [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
Occludin is the first transmembrane protein of the tight junction to be discovered. While numerous studies emphasized the important role of occludin in assembly and maintenance of tight junctions, occludin knockout studies indicated that it was not required for tight junction assembly in different epithelia.

Occludin Regulates Actin Cytoskeleton in Endothelial Cells.

open access: yesCell Structure and Function, 2001
Occludin is a major membrane component of tight junctions of endothelial cells, though the role of this molecule is not fully understood. RLE cells, derived from rat lung endothelial cells, express a negligible level of occludin with clear expression of E-cadherin and ZO-1 at cell junctions.

Redox-sensitivity of the dimerization of occludin

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009
Occludin is a self-associating transmembrane tight junction protein affected in oxidative stress. However, its function is unknown. The cytosolic C-terminal tail contains a coiled coil-domain forming dimers contributing to the self-association. Studying the hypothesis that the self-association is redox-sensitive, we found that the dimerization of the ...
