    Abstract Though membrane trafficking of cell junction proteins has been studied extensively for more than two decades, the accumulated knowledge remains fragmentary. The goal of this review is to synthesize published studies on the membrane trafficking of the five major junction transmembrane proteins: claudins, occludin, and junction adhesion molecules (JAMs) in tight junctions; cadherins and nectins in adherens junctions; to identify underlying common mechanisms; to highlight their functional consequences on barrier function; and to identify knowledge gaps. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis appears to be the main, but not exclusive, mode of internalization. Caveolin-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis are employed less frequently. PDZ-domain binding is the predominant mode of interaction between junction protein cytoplasmic tails and scaffold proteins. It is shared by claudins, the largest family of junction integral proteins, by junction adhesion molecules A, B, and C, and by the three nectins. All eight proteins are destined to either recycling via Rab4/Rab11 GTPases or to degradation. The sorting mechanisms that underlie the specificity of their endocytic pathways and determine their fates are not fully known. New data is presented to introduce an emerging role of junction-associated scaffold proteins in claudin membrane trafficking.

    Abstract Epithelial tight junctions define the paracellular permeability of the intestinal barrier. Molecules can cross the tight junctions via two distinct size-selective and charge-selective paracellular pathways: the pore pathway and the leak pathway. These can be distinguished by their selectivities and differential regulation by immune cells. However, permeability increases measured in most studies are secondary to epithelial damage, which allows non-selective flux via the unrestricted pathway. Restoration of increased unrestricted pathway permeability requires mucosal healing. By contrast, tight junction barrier loss can be reversed by targeted interventions. Specific approaches are needed to restore pore pathway or leak pathway permeability increases. Recent studies have used preclinical disease models to demonstrate the potential of pore pathway or leak pathway barrier restoration in disease. In this Review, we focus on the two paracellular flux pathways that are dependent on the tight junction. We discuss the latest evidence that highlights tight junction components, structures and regulatory mechanisms, their impact on gut health and disease, and opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract In this commentary we discuss a paper we published recently on the activities of the GTPase RhoA during neural differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells, and relate our findings to previous studies. We narrate how we found that RhoA impedes neural differentiation by inhibiting the production as well as the secretion of noggin, a soluble factor that antagonizes bone morphogenetic protein. We discuss how the questions we tried to address shaped the study, and how embryonic stem cells isolated from a genetically modified mouse model devoid of Syx, a RhoA-specific guanine exchange factor, were used to address them. We detail several signaling pathways downstream of RhoA that are hindered by the absence of Syx, and obstructed by retinoic acid, resulting in an increase of noggin production; we explain how the lower RhoA activity and, consequently, the sparser peri-junctional stress fibers in

    Abstract Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) isolated from the inner mass of the blastocyst (typically at day E3.5), can be used as in vitro model system for studying early embryonic development. In the absence of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), ESCs differentiate by default into neural precursor cells. They can be amassed into a three dimensional (3D) spherical aggregate termed embryoid body (EB) due to its similarity to the early stage embryo. EBs can be seeded on fibronectin-coated coverslips, where they expand by growing two dimensional (2D) extensions, or implanted in 3D collagen matrices where they continue growing as spheroids, and differentiate into the three germ layers: endodermal, mesodermal, and ectodermal. The 3D collagen culture mimics the in vivo environment more closely than the 2D EBs. The 2D EB culture facilitates analysis by immunofluorescence and immunoblotting to track differentiation. We have developed a two-step neural differentiation protocol. In the first step, EBs are generated by the hanging-drop technique, and, simultaneously, are induced to differentiate by exposure to retinoic acid (RA). In the second step, neural differentiation proceeds in a 2D or 3D format in the absence of RA.

    Abstract The change in the overall shape of developing organs is a consequence of the cumulative movement, reshaping, and proliferation of the individual mural cells that make up the walls of these organs. Recent observations suggest that the shape and the position of endothelial cells (ECs) in growing blood vessels are highly dynamic, implying that these cells remodel their junctions extensively and do not preserve their initial relative positions. In order to determine the mechanisms that confer the dynamic behavior of mural ECs, we tracked the trafficking of a cell junction protein complex that consists of the RhoA-specific guanine exchange factor (GEF) Syx, the scaffold protein Mupp1, and the phospholipid binding protein Amot.1 We found that RhoA co-trafficked with this complex on the same endocytic vesicles, and that its cellular activity pattern was determined by Rab13-dependent trafficking. The vesicles were targeted by a Rab13-associated protein complex to Tyr(1175)-phosphorylated VEGFR2 at the leading edge of ECs migrating under a VEGF gradient. These results indicate that the dynamic behavior of ECs in sprouting vessels is conferred by using the same protein complex for the regulation of both cell junctions and cell motility. Together with previous studies that demonstrated regulation of Rac signaling by Rab5-dependent trafficking,(2) it appears now that membrane traffic is tightly coupled to the regulation of Rho GTPases, and, consequently, to the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, cell junctions, and cell migration.
