Abstract excerpt
We have compared the functional and structural integrity of gap junction channels assembled from a Cx45 truncation mutant with those of gap junction channels assembled from wild-type (wt) Cx45 and Cx43. These channel-forming proteins are constitutively expressed in HeLa cells. The truncation mutant lacks the last 26 amino acids of the COOH-terminus, including nine serine phosphorylation sites that are associated...
