Connexin phosphorylation as a regulatory event linked to gap junction channel assembly
Open accessAbstract
Gap junctions, composed of proteins from the connexin family, allow for intercellular communication between cells and are important in development and maintenance of cell homeostasis. Phosphorylation has been implicated in the regulation of gap junctional communication at several stages of the cell cycle and the connexin "lifecycle", such as trafficking, assembly/disassembly, degradation, as well as in the gating of "hemi" channels or intact gap junction channels. This review focuses on how phosphorylation can regulate the early stages of the connexin life cycle through assembly of functional gap junctional channels. The availability of sequences from the human genome databases has indicated that the number of connexins in the gene family is approximately 20, but we know mostly about how connexin43 (Cx43) is regulated. Recent technologies and investigations of interacting proteins have shown that activation of several kinases including protein kinase A, protein kinase C (PKC), p34(cdc2)/cyclin B kinase, casein kinase 1 (CK1), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and pp60(src) kinase can lead to phosphorylation of the majority of the 21 serine and two of the tyrosine residues in the C-terminal region of Cx43. While many studies have correlated changes in kinase activity with changes in gap junctional communication, further research is needed to directly link specific phosphorylation events with changes in connexin oligomerization and gap junction assembly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
