We report here that junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) interacts with calcium/calmodulin-
dependent serine protein kinase (CASK), a protein related to membrane-associated
guanylate kinases. In Caco-2 cells, JAM and CASK were coprecipitated and found to
colocalize at intercellular contacts along the lateral surface of the plasma membrane.
Association of JAM with CASK requires the PSD95/dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain of CASK and the
putative PDZ-binding motif Phe-Leu-Val COOH in the cytoplasmic tail of JAM. Temporal …
