Structures of wild-type and selected CMT1X mutant connexin 32 gap junction channels and hemichannels
2023-03-10
Abstract excerpt
In myelinating Schwann cells, communication between myelin layers is mediated by gap junction channels (GJC) formed by docked connexin 32 hemichannels (HCs). Mutations in Cx32 cause the X-linked Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT1X), a degenerative neuropathy with no cure. A molecular link between Cx32 dysfunction and CMT1X pathogenesis is still missing. Here, we describe the high resolution cryo-EM structures of th...
