Molecular determinants of low affinity complexes formed by the electrical synapse proteins Connexin36 (Cx36) and ZO-1

Stephan Tetenborg, Fatemeh Ariakia, Nikki Allyn Brantley…·John O’Brien

This study identifies molecular determinants of weak PDZ1/Cx36 interactions, showing that specific residues and phosphorylation regulate electrical synapse stability.
