Abstract

Claudins (claudin‐1 to ‐18) with four transmembrane domains and two extracellular loops constitute tight junction strands. The peptide toxin Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) has been shown to bind to claudin‐3 and ‐4, but not to claudin‐1 or ‐2. We constructed claudin‐1/claudin‐3 chimeric molecules and found that the second extracellular loop of claudin‐3 conferred CPE sensitivity on L fibroblasts. Furthermore, overlay analyses revealed that the second extracellular loop of claudin‐3 specifically bound to CPE at the K a value of 1.0×10 8 M−1. We concluded that the second extracellular loop is the site through which claudin‐3 interacts with CPE on the cell surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
