Regulation of connexin43 gap junctional communication by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate
Cell-cell communication through connexin43 (Cx43)-based gap junction channels is rapidly inhibited upon activation of various G protein-coupled receptors; however, the mechanism is unknown. We show that Cx43-based cell-cell communication is inhibited by depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns[4,5]P(2)) from the plasma membrane. Knockdown of phospholipase Cbeta3 (PLCbeta3) inh...
متن کاملDifferential phosphorylation of the gap junction protein connexin43 in junctional communication-competent and -deficient cell lines
Connexin43 is a member of the highly homologous connexin family of gap junction proteins. We have studied how connexin monomers are assembled into functional gap junction plaques by examining the biosynthesis of connexin43 in cell types that differ greatly in their ability to form functional gap junctions. Using a combination of metabolic radiolabeling and immunoprecipitation, we have shown tha...
متن کاملBiochemical and immunochemical analysis of the arrangement of connexin43 in rat heart gap junction membranes.
A 43 x 10(3) Mr protein (designated connexin43 or Cx43) is a major constituent of heart gap junctions. The understanding of its arrangement in junctional membranes has been extended by means of site-directed antibodies raised against synthetic peptides of Cx43. These represent part of the first extracellular loop (EL-46), the cytoplasmic loop (CL-100), the second extracellular loop (EL-186) and...
متن کاملfocus on communication in iranian high school language classes: a study of the role of teaching materials in changing the focus onto communication in language classes
چکیده ارتباط در کلاس به عوامل زیادی از جمله معلمان، دانش آموزان، برنامه های درسی و از همه مهم تر، مواد آموزشی وابسته است. در تدریس ارتباطی زبان که تاکید زیادی بر توانش ارتباطی دارد، کتاب درسی به عنوان عامل موثر بر پویایی کلاس محسوب میگردد که درس ها را از طریق فراهم آوردن متن ارتباط کلاسی و هم چنین نوع تمرین زبانی که دانش آموزان در طول فعالیت های کلاسی به آن مشغول اند، کنترل می کند. این حقیقت ک...
15 صفحه اولGap junction assembly: roles for the formation plaque and regulation by the C-terminus of connexin43
Using an established gap junction (GJ) assembly system with experimentally reaggregated cells, we analyzed "formation plaques" (FPs), apparent sites of GJ assembly. Employing freeze-fracture electron microscopy methods combined with filipin labeling of sterols and immunolabeling for connexin43 (Cx43), we demonstrated that FPs constitute distinct membrane "domains" and that their characteristic ...
