Abstract
ZO-1 is a tight junction phosphoprotein partially homologous to a tumor suppressor in Drosophila. The homologous region contains an SH3 domain with an unidentified function. Using fusion proteins containing the SH3 domain and various N- and C-terminal sequences, we tested for association of a kinase with this protein domain in extracts of MDCK cells. We show that the SH3 domain of ZO-1 binds a serine protein kinase that phosphorylates a region immediately C-terminal to the SH3 domain. This kinase associates specifically with the SH3 domain of ZO-1 and appears to be also associated with junctional complexes extracted from MDCK cells.
