The integrity and functions of epithelial barriers depend on the formation of adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs). A characteristic feature of AJs and TJs is their association with the cortical cytoskeleton composed of actin filaments and nonmuscle myosin II (NM‐II) motors. Mechanical forces generated by the actomyosin cytoskeleton are essential for junctional assembly, stability, and remodeling. Epithelial cells express two different actin proteins and three NM‐II isoforms, all known to be associated with AJs and TJs. Despite their structural similarity, different actin and NM‐II isoforms have distinct biochemical properties, cellular distribution, and functions. The diversity of epithelial actins and myosin motors could be essential for the regulation of different steps of junctional formation, maturation, and disassembly. This review focuses on the roles of actin and NM‐II isoforms in controlling the integrity and barrier properties of various epithelia. We discuss the effects of the depletion of individual actin isoforms and NM‐II motors on the assembly and barrier function of AJs and TJs in model epithelial monolayers in vitro. We also describe the functional consequences of either total or tissue‐specific gene knockout of different actins and NM‐II motors, with a focus on the development and integrity of different epithelia in vivo. The integrity and functions of epithelial barriers is regulated by the cross‐talk between intercellular junctions and the cortical actomyosin cytoskeleton. The junction‐associated cytoskeleton is built by different actin and non‐muscle myosin II isoforms. Here we overview the interactions of different cytoplasmic actins and myosin II motors with epithelial adherens and tight junctions and functional roles of these cytoskeletal proteins in regulating epithelial barrier integrity and remodeling.
