Occludin OCEL-domain interactions are required for maintenance and regulation of the tight junction barrier to macromolecular flux
Occludin loss enhances paracellular macromolecular permeability (radius up to ∼62.5 Å) and is necessary for TNF-induced barrier loss. The latter requires the C-terminal OCEL domain, which stabilizes tight junction–associated occludin and regulates trafficking. Thus OCEL-mediated interactions are cri...
