Abstract excerpt
Ductin is a highly conserved and polytopic transmembrane protein which is the subunit c component of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) and a component of a connexon channel of gap junctions. Previous studies have suggested that ductin in the V-ATPase has the opposite orientation of ductin in a connexon. Using an in vitro translation system coupled to microsomes derived from the endoplasmic reticulum, we show...
