ZO-1 and ZO-2 are required for extra-embryonic endoderm integrity, primitive ectoderm survival and normal cavitation in embryoid bodies derived from mouse embryonic stem cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Zonula Occludens proteins ZO-1 and ZO-2 are cell-cell junction-associated adaptor proteins that are essential for the structural and regulatory functions of tight junctions in epithelial cells and their absence leads to early embryonic lethality in ...

Zonula occludens and nasal epithelial barrier integrity in allergic rhinitis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease affecting 400 million of the population worldwide. Nasal epithelial cells form a barrier against the invasion of environmental pathogens. These nasal epithelial cells are connected together by tight junction (TJ)

hScrib interacts with ZO‐2 at the cell–cell junctions of epithelial cells [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2005 In Drosophila, the tumor suppressor Scribble is localized at the septate junctions of epithelial cells. Its mammalian homologue, hScrib, is a basolateral protein likely associated to proteins of the cell–cell junctions. We report the direct interaction between hScrib and ZO‐2, a junction‐associated protein. This interaction relies on two PDZ domains of

Tight junction proteins ZO-1, ZO-2, and occludin along isolated renal tubules [PDF]
Kidney International, 2000 Tight junctions play a critical role in tubular function. In mammalian kidney, the transepithelial electrical resistance and the complexity of the tight junction increase from the proximal to the collecting tubule. The differential expression of three tight junction proteins, ZO-1, ZO-2, and occludin, along isolated rabbit renal tubules is examined in ...

ZO-2 induces cytoplasmic retention of YAP by promoting a LATS1-ZO-2-YAP complex at tight junctions [PDF]
, 2018 SummaryContact inhibition of proliferation (CIP) is a key mechanism that transduces the cell density status of tissue and organs into a unique transcriptional program by translocating YAP between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. However, the nature of the cell density-dependent cues that regulate the YAP distribution remains unclear.

ZO-1- and ZO-2-Dependent Integration of Myosin-2 to Epithelial Zonula Adherens [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2008 For the zonula adherens (ZA) to be established by linear arrangement of adherens junctions (AJs) in epithelial sheet cells, critical for the epithelial cell sheet formation and intercellular barrier function, myosin-2 is supposedly integrated into the ZA with the result of overlapping localization of E-cadherin/actin/myosin-2.
