Summary

TJP1 (tight junction protein 1, HGNC:11827) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q13.1, encoding Tight junction protein 1 (Q07157). TJP1, TJP2, and TJP3 are closely related scaffolding proteins that link tight junction (TJ) transmembrane proteins such as claudins, junctional adhesion molecules, and occludin to the actin cytoskeleton.

This gene encodes a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family of proteins, and acts as a tight junction adaptor protein that also regulates adherens junctions. Tight junctions regulate the movement of ions and macromolecules between endothelial and epithelial cells. The multidomain structure of this scaffold protein, including a postsynaptic density 95/disc-large/zona occludens (PDZ) domain, a Src homology (SH3) domain, a guanylate kinase (GuK) domain and unique (U) motifs all help to co-ordinate binding of transmembrane proteins, cytosolic proteins, and F-actin, which are required for tight junction function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Function. TJP1, TJP2, and TJP3 are closely related scaffolding proteins that link tight junction (TJ) transmembrane proteins such as claudins, junctional adhesion molecules, and occludin to the actin cytoskeleton. Forms a multistranded TJP1/ZO1 condensate which elongates to form a tight junction belt, the belt is anchored at the apical cell membrane via interaction with PATJ. The tight junction acts to limit movement of substances through the paracellular space and as a boundary between the compositionally distinct apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains of epithelial and endothelial cells. Necessary for lumenogenesis, and particularly efficient epithelial polarization and barrier formation. Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration by targeting CDC42BPB to the leading edge of migrating cells. Plays an important role in podosome formation and associated function, thus regulating cell adhesion and matrix remodeling. With TJP2 and TJP3, participates in the junctional retention and stability of the transcription factor DBPA, but is not involved in its shuttling to the nucleus. May play a role in mediating cell morphology changes during ameloblast differentiation via its role in tight junctions.

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Forms heterodimers TJP3. Forms a heterodimer (via PDZ2 domain) with TJP2/ZO2 (via PDZ2 domain). Interacts with OCLN, CALM, claudins, CGN/cingulin, CXADR, GJA12, GJD3 and UBN1. Interacts (via ZU5 domain) with CDC42BPB and MYZAP. Interacts (via PDZ domain) with GJA1. Interacts (via PDZ domains) with ANKRD2. Interacts with POPDC1 (via the C-terminus cytoplasmic tail). Interacts with HSPA4 and KIRREL1. Interacts with DLL1. Interacts with USP53 (via the C-terminal region). Interacts (via ABR region) with F-actin. Interacts with DNMBP (via C-terminal domain); required for the apical cell-cell junction localization of DNMBP. Interacts with SPEF1. Interacts (via N-terminus) with CTNNA1. Interacts with CLDN18. Interacts with CLDN16 (via TRV motif); this is a prerequisite for anchoring of CLDN16 at the tight junction. Interacts with PKP1; the interaction facilitates TJP1/ZO-1 localization to the plasma membrane. Interacts with PATJ (via PDZ1-6 domains); the interaction is required for attachment and extension of TJP1/ZO1 condensates along the apical cell interface.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Cell junction. Tight junction. Gap junction. Cell projection. Podosome.

Tissue specificity. The alpha-containing isoform is found in most epithelial cell junctions. The short isoform is found both in endothelial cells and the highly specialized epithelial junctions of renal glomeruli and Sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated at tyrosine redidues in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF). This response is dependent on an intact actin microfilament system. Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ.

Domain organisation. The 244-aa domain between residues 633 and 876 is the primary occludin (OCLN)-binding site and is required for stable association with the tight junction. The C-terminal region (residues 1151-1372) is an actin-binding region (ABR) that interacts directly with F-actin and plays an important role in the localization of TJP1 at junctions. The ABR is also required for the localization to puncta at the free edge of cells before initiation of cell-cell contact. The ABR is also necessary for TJP1 recruitment to podosomes. The second PDZ domain (PDZ2) mediates homodimerization and heterodimerization with TJP2 and TJP3.

Similarity. Belongs to the MAGUK family.
