J Biol Chem. 273:1998;29745-29753. This study provides evidence that ZO-1 protein associates with the transmembrane tight junction protein occludin via a specific domain located at its amino-terminal half and with actin filaments via its carboxy-terminal domain; furthermore, it was shown that the PDZ2 domain of ZO-1 is required for heterodimerization of ZO-1 with ZO-2. The data suggest that ZO-1 may link tight junction proteins to the cortical actin cytoskeleton.
