The gap junction protein connexin36 (C×36) is widely expressed in neurons and was previously shown to interact with the PDZ domain-containing protein zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). We investigated whether C×36 is also able to interact with other members of zonula occludens family of proteins, namely, ZO-2 and ZO-3, the former of which was reported to be co-localized with C×36 at gap junctions in mouse retina. HeLa cells transfected with C×36 and cultured βTC-3 cells were found to express ZO-2 and ZO-3, and both of these ZO proteins were co-localized with C×36 at gap junctional cell-cell contacts. In lysates of C×36-transfected HeLa cells, ZO-2 and ZO-3 were shown to co-immunoprecipitate with C×36, whereas C×36/ZO-2 association was absent in cells transfected with truncated C×36 lacking its C-terminus SAYV PDZ interaction motif. In vitro pull-down assays revealed that C×36 interacts with the PDZ1, but not with the other two PDZ domains in ZO-2 or ZO-3. Truncated C×36 lacking its PDZ binding motif failed to bind the PDZ1 domain of either ZO-2 or ZO-3. A fourteen amino acid peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of C×36 was also shown to interact with the PDZ1 domains of ZO-2 and ZO-3, and this peptide inhibited the association of C×36 with the PDZ1 domains of these ZO proteins. These results indicate that C×36 associates with the first PDZ domain of ZO-2 and ZO-3 and that this association requires the C-terminus SAYV sequence in C×36. These findings, together with the known association of ZO-2 with a variety of proteins, including transcription factors, suggest that ZO-2 may serve to anchor regulatory proteins at gap junctions composed of C×36.
