Innexin gap junctions in nerve cells coordinate spontaneous contractile behavior in Hydra polyps [PDF]

, 2014
Nerve cells and spontaneous coordinated behavior first appeared near the base of animal evolution in the common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians. Experiments on the cnidarian Hydra have demonstrated that nerve cells are essential for this behavior,

Die Funktion des Gap junction Proteins Innexin 2 im larvalen Proventrikulus von Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2007
Die direkte Kommunikation benachbarter Zellen durch Gap junctions ist notwendig für die Entwicklung von Geweben und Organen in Organismen. In Invertebraten setzen sich Gap junctions aus Proteinen der Innexinfamilie zusammen und bilden interzelluläre ...

Long-term potentiation in an innexin-based electrical synapse

Scientific Reports, 2018
Electrical synapses are formed by two unrelated gap junction protein families, the primordial innexins (invertebrates) or the connexins (vertebrates). Although molecularly different, innexin- and connexin-based electrical synapses are strikingly similar ...

Putative Neural Network Within an Olfactory Sensory Unit for Nestmate and Non-nestmate Discrimination in the Japanese Carpenter Ant: The Ultra-structures and Mathematical Simulation

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Ants are known to use a colony-specific blend of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) as a pheromone to discriminate between nestmates and non-nestmates and the CHCs were sensed in the basiconic type of antennal sensilla (S. basiconica).

Hemichannel composition and electrical synaptic transmission: molecular diversity and its implications for electrical rectification.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Unapposed hemichannels formed by oligomerized hexamers of gap junction proteins are now known to be involved in various cellular processes under both physiological and pathological conditions. On the other hand, less is known regarding how disparities in

Data_Sheet_1_Gap Junction Coding Innexin in Lymnaea stagnalis: Sequence Analysis and Characterization in Tissues and the Central Nervous System.pdf

, 2020
Connections between neurons called synapses are the key components underlying all nervous system functions of animals and humans. However, important genetic information on the formation and plasticity of one type, the electrical (gap junction-mediated ...

Acute control of the sleep switch in Drosophila reveals a role for gap junctions in regulating behavioral responsiveness

eLife, 2018
Sleep is a dynamic process in most animals, involving distinct stages that probably perform multiple functions for the brain. Before sleep functions can be initiated, it is likely that behavioral responsiveness to the outside world needs to be reduced ...

Intercellular Communication: the Drosophila Innexin Multiprotein Family of Gap Junction Proteins [PDF]

, 2005
SummaryGap junctions belong to the most conserved cellular structures in multicellular organisms, from Hydra to man. They contain tightly packed clusters of hydrophilic membrane channels connecting the cytoplasms of adjacent cells, thus allowing direct ...

Channel-independent function of UNC-9/Innexin in spatial arrangement of GABAergic synapses in C. elegans

eLife, 2022
Precise synaptic connection of neurons with their targets is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. A plethora of signaling pathways act in concert to mediate the precise spatial arrangement of synaptic connections.
