https://www.selleckchem.com/products/1-nm-pp1.html The junction adhesion molecule (JAM) family of proteins play central roles in the tight junction (TJ) structure and function. In contrast to claudins (CLDN) and occludin (OCLN), the other membrane proteins of the TJ, whose structure is that of a 4α-helix bundle, JAMs are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The JAM family is composed of four members A, B, C and 4. The crystal structure of the extracellular domain of JAM-A continues to be used as a template to model the secondary and tertiary structure of the other members of the family. In this article, we have expressed the extracellular domains of JAMs fused with maltose-binding protein (MBP). This strategy enabled the work presented here, since JAM-B, JAM-C and JAM4 are more difficult targets due to their more hydrophobic nature. Our results indicate that each member of the JAM family has a unique tertiary structure in spite of having similar secondary structures. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) revealed that heterotypic interactions among JAM family members can be greatly favored compared to homotypic interactions. We employ the well characterized epithelial cadherin (E-CAD) as a means to evaluate the adhesive properties of JAMs. We present strong evidence that suggests that homotypic or heterotypic interactions among JAMs are stronger than that of E-CADs.The exploitation of agricultural byproducts and organic side-streams as insect feeding substrates is advantageous for insect farming both from an economic and a sustainability perspective. In this context, in the present study we evaluated the suitability of ten byproducts of the cereal and legume seed cleaning process for the rearing of larvae of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor, and the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus. Byproducts were offered singly to 20 T. molitor and 50 A. diaperinus larvae with provision of carrots as moisture source. After four weeks of undisturbed development, larval
