| Research Abstract |
We found by comparative analysis of mouse rectum CMT93-I and -II cells that expression of claudin-2 caused increase of paracellular permeability. This suggests that tight junction function may depend on combination of claudin species expressed in the cells. We found that two cysteine residues (54C, 64C) conserved in the first extracellular loop of claudin-1 were necessary for the formation of tight junction strands and that replacement of 54C to alanine caused increase of transepithelial electrical resistance.
