Abstract excerpt
Polarized membrane sorting of connexin 43 (Cx43) has not been well-characterized. Based on the presence of a putative sorting signal, YKLV(286-289), within its C-terminal cytoplasmic domain, we hypothesized that Cx43 is selectively expressed on the basolateral surface of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells in a tyrosine-dependent manner. We generated stable MDCK cell lines expressing human wild-type and mutant...
