The molecular function of occludin, an integral membrane component of tight junctions, remains unclear. VEGF-induced phosphorylation sites were mapped on occludin by combining MS data analysis with bioinformatics. In vivo phosphorylation of Ser490 was validated and protein interaction studies combined with crystal structure analysis suggest that Ser490 phosphorylation attenuates the interaction between occludin and ZO-1 ...
