ZO-1/Tjp1 and ZO-2/Tjp2 deletion in retinal pigment epithelium causes progressive retinal degeneration [PDF]
Summary: Tight junction protein-1 and -2 (Tjp1/ZO-1 and Tjp2/ZO-2) function as scaffold proteins within the tight junction complexes of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB). Although the breakdown of the BRB is implicated in retinopathies, the contribution of

ZO-1 interacts with YB-1 in endothelial cells to regulate stress granule formation during angiogenesis [PDF]
Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) is involved in the regulation of cell-cell junctions between endothelial cells (ECs). Here we identify the ZO-1 protein interactome and uncover ZO-1 interactions with RNA-binding proteins that are part of stress granules (SGs ...
