Abstract figure legend The volume‐regulated anion channel (VRAC), composed of leucine‐rich repeat‐containing 8 (LRRC8) proteins, serves both canonical and non‐canonical functions in vertebrate cells. The canonical function of this channel relates to its original description, which is homeostatic regulation of cell volume in response to hypotonic ...

Dual role for pannexin 1 at synapses: regulating functional and morphological plasticity
Abstract figure legend Pannexin 1 (PANX1) regulation of dendritic spines. The postnatal decrease in PANX1 expression could release key spine cytoskeleton‐regulating proteins enabling spine stabilization. Does the physiological decrease in neuronal PANX1 levels across brain development underlie dendritic spine maturation?

The microRNA mir-71 inhibits calcium signaling by targeting the TIR-1/Sarm1 adaptor protein to control stochastic L/R neuronal asymmetry in C. elegans. [PDF]
The Caenorhabditis elegans left and right AWC olfactory neurons communicate to establish stochastic asymmetric identities, AWC(ON) and AWC(OFF), by inhibiting a calcium-mediated signaling pathway in the future AWC(ON) cell. NSY-4/claudin-like protein and

Recent advances in structural characterization of volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs)
Abstract figure legend Native LRRC8 channels are obligatory heteromers comprising LRRC8A and at least one other paralogue (LRRC8B‐E) with an unknown stoichiometry. LRRC8A and LRRC8D homomers form non‐functional hexameric channels or hexameric channels with abnormal functional properties.

Reactive astrocytes release various molecules, which play a role in maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. (1) Gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), ATP, and D‐serine, are secreted by vesicular exocytosis. In addition, astrocytes can also release ATP and glutamate through (2) P2X7Rs, (3) connexin‐43 (Cx43 ...

Effect of eGFP (black squares) and innexin (red circles) dsRNA injection on mosquito survival.
Values are means ± SEM. n = 3 replicates of 24 mosquitoes. Asterisks indicate a significant difference in survival between eGFP and innexin dsRNA injected mosquitoes as determined by a two-way ANOVA with a Holm-Sidak’s post-hoc test.

Tryptophan Scanning Mutagenesis of the First Transmembrane Domain of the Innexin Shaking-B(Lethal) [PDF]
The channel proteins of gap junctions are encoded by two distinct gene families, connexins, which are exclusive to chordates, and innexins/pannexins, which are found throughout the animal kingdom.
