Connexins are polytopic domain membrane proteins that form hexameric hemichannels (HCs) which can assemble into gap junction channels (GJCs) at the interface of two neighboring cells. The HCs may be involved in ion and small-molecule transport across the

Compartmentalized and signal-selective gap junctional coupling in the hearing cochlea [PDF]
, 2006 Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays a major role in cochlear function. Recent evidence suggests that connexin 26 (Cx26) and Cx30 are the major constituent proteins of cochlear gap junction channels, possibly in a unique heteromeric ...

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Pediatric Hearing Loss Along the Texas–Mexico Border
Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.Project GIVE provided evaluations and genome sequencing to 23 children with hearing loss along the Texas–Mexico border. Seventy percent received a molecular diagnosis and 56% of those diagnosed had changes to medical management. In this region, underdiagnosis of genetic hearing loss is due to care barriers rather than lower genetic burden.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Astrocytic gap junctions formed by connexin43 (Cx43) help maintain brain homeostasis. After mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), total cortical Cx43 increases and redistributes toward a soluble, non‐junctional pool with elevated hemichannel activity and increased phosphorylation at serine 368 (pCx43S368).

Inhibition of Connexin 26 by the AMP-Activated Protein Kinase
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2011 Connexins provide intercellular connections that allow passage of ions and small organic molecules. They clamp the cell membrane potential and cellular ion composition to that of neighboring cells. The cell membrane potential and ion composition of an energy-depleted cell could thus be maintained despite its compromised Na(+)/K(+) activity. By the same

ATP and mechanisms of central CO2 chemosensitivity [PDF]
ATP release from the surface of the ventro-lateral medulla (VLM) is integral to the hypercapnic response in vivo and can be seen in vitro. By employing horizontal slices of the ventral medulla containing the ventral chemosensitive nuclei, I have ...

Advances in Cytosolic dsRNA Sensing of Viral Infections
Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.Activation of cytosolic dsRNA sensors by viral infection generates multiple outcomes. dsRNA generated during viral infection, either of viral origin or from endogenous sources, can activate multiple cytosolic dsRNA sensors. Activation of PKR critically induces protein translation shutdown via phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor ...
