TLDR
Reovirus interaction with cell-surface receptors is a critical determinant of both cell-type specific tropism and virus-induced intracellular signaling events that culminate in cell death.

The tight junction: a multifunctional complex.

TL;DR: A group of integral membrane proteins-occludin, claudins, and junction adhesion molecules-interact with an increasingly complex array of tight junction plaque proteins not only to regulate paracellular solute and water flux but also to integrate such diverse processes as gene transcription, tumor suppression, cell proliferation, and cell polarity.

Claudin-1 is a hepatitis C virus co-receptor required for a late step in entry.

TL;DR: Using an iterative expression cloning approach, claudin-1 (CLDN1), a tight junction component that is highly expressed in the liver, is identified as essential for HCV entry and a new target for antiviral drug development.

Endothelial Cell-to-Cell Junctions: Molecular Organization and Role in Vascular Homeostasis

TL;DR: How the molecular architectures and interactions may represent a mechanistic basis for the function and regulation of junctions, focusing on junction assembly and permeability regulation, is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tight junction proteins.

TL;DR: Advances in the knowledge of the molecular structure of TJ support previous physiological models that exhibited TJ as dynamic structures that present distinct permeability and morphological characteristics in different tissues and in response to changing natural, pathological or experimental conditions.

Modification of tight junction function by protein kinase C isoforms

TL;DR: The tight junctional leakiness associated with protein kinase C activation and apparently intrinsic to transformed epithelia suggests a potentially useful role for tight junction leakiness as a marker for early cancer diagnosis.

Age dependent susceptibility to reovirus type 3 encephalitis: Role of viral and host factors

TL;DR: The age dependent resistance to reovirus type 3 encephalitis appears related to an intrinsic resistance to viral replication by neuronal cells, a resistance that may occur simultaneously in nonneuronal cell populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemagglutinin variants of reovirus type 3 have altered central nervous system tropism.

TL;DR: Results indicate that minor modifications of the reovirus hemagglutinin dramatically alter the ability of the virus to spread into and injure the central nervous system.

Unmasking of intestinal epithelial lateral membrane beta1 integrin consequent to transepithelial neutrophil migration in vitro facilitates inv-mediated invasion by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that by transiently perturbing monolayer continuity, neutrophil transepithelial migration is associated with a window of risk in which luminal pathogens can access basolateral ligands such as beta1 integrin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of tight junction function by G protein-coupled events.

TL;DR: Current evidence for the control of tight junction permeability by small G proteins is examined, future directions that may be of value in further exploring the biological importance of these key mediators are speculated upon.
