Alterations of occludin under oxidative stress and functional analysis of claudin-12
We investigate whether occludin influences the tight junction in a redox-dependent manner. After cysteine replacement it is analysed whether the oligomerization and junctional function of occludin has been modified under hypoxia.
These studies will help to clarify the role of cysteins in occludin with respect to its structure and function under oxidative stress. Claudin-12 is characterized regarding basic properties: Self-association, trans/cis-interaction, formation of tight junction strands and barrier functions.
