Cingulin is a functionally important component of TJ.
It interacts with ZO-1, ZO-2, ZO-3, and myosin thus links the submembrane plaque domain of TJ to the actomyosin cytoskeleton

GJD2 is widely expressed in neurons and was previously shown to interact with the PDZ domain-containing protein ZO-1.
Direct association of connexin36 (GJD2) with ZO-2 and ZO-3 was also demonstrated.

Association of connexin36 with ZO-1 in HeLa cells, betaTC-3 cells, pancreas, and adrenal gland.
The functional significance of Cx36/ZO-1 interaction remains to be established
Interestingly, ZO-1 was not associated with Cx36 intracellularly, suggesting that functions of its interaction with at least Cx36 may be restricted to intact gap junctions at plasma membranes.

In the outer plexiform layer of mouse retina, ZO-1 interacts with connexin36 but not with Cx57, and there is an absence of connexin57/connexin36 heterotypic gap junctional coupling in mouse retina
