Five-hour half-life of mouse liver gap-junction protein
The half-life of a gap-junction polypeptide band migrating at 21,000 Mr on SDS polyacrylamide gels isolated from mouse liver is measured to be 5 h. Two low-molecular wight bands, probably related to the 21,000 Mr material by proteolysis, have measured half-lives of 4.6 and 5.2 h. Gap junctions are labeled in vivo using the 14C-bicarbonate labeling procedure, followed by quantitative fluorography.
متن کاملThe Gap Junction Communication Channel
Communication plays an important role in the rapid Connexin Structure progress of modern society. We live in an age when Gap junctions exhibit a hierarchy of assembly. The prininformation is transmitted through many different pathcipal structural component, the membrane protein conways and in many different forms to influence our daily nexin, is organized into the basic unit of structure, the d...
متن کاملOn gap junction structure
We have studied the stain distribution within rat liver gap junctions for specimens prepared by thin sectioning and negative staining. Pools of stain molecules exist in two specific locations with respect to the distinctive morphological units (connexons) of the junction. One pool of stain surrounds the connexons and is restricted to the extracellular space in the gap between the adjacent plasm...
متن کاملNonredundant gap junction functions.
The need for molecular heterogeneity of gap junction channel proteins in vivo has been enigmatic. Recently, functional replacement of one channel gene with another in mice and flies has revealed that cellular health depends not simply on gap junction communication but also requires the correct type of intercellular channel subunit.
متن کاملGap Junction Voltage Dependence
All vertebrate gap junction channels display voltage-dependent gating. Historically, voltage-dependent behaviors have been characterized as being transjunctional voltage (Vj) and membrane voltage (Vm) dependent. The transjunctional voltage dependence of gap junction channels composed of two identical hemichan-nels, each composed of identical connexins subunits (a homotypic channel) is usually s...
