Abstract

Across the animal kingdom the apical junction complex of epithelial cells creates both a permeability barrier and cell polarity. Although based on overlapping and evolutionarily conserved proteins, the cell-cell contacts of nematodes, flies and mammals appear to differ in morphology and functional organization. Emerging evidence shows that the selective pore-like properties of vertebrate and invertebrate barriers are created by the claudin family. Similarly, assembly of the barriers requires a conserved set of polarity-generating protein complexes, particularly the PAR protein complexes.
