The paper identifies hundreds of Connexin-associated proteins in zebrafish electrical synapses, revealing molecular diversity and overlap with chemical synapse proteomes, and links these proteins to neurological disorders.

This study identifies Neurobeachin's role in restricting electrical synapse proteins to dendrites in zebrafish neurons.

The paper shows that different isoforms of the ZO1b gene contribute uniquely to the electrical synapse density complex, affecting gap junction channel localization and function in zebrafish.

The paper identifies a mutation in tjp1b that disrupts electrical synapse formation in zebrafish by preventing neural gap junction channel localization.

The paper shows that ZO1, a scaffolding protein, is required for Connexin localization at electrical synapses, which is necessary for functional gap junctions and synaptic transmission.

The paper identifies Tjp1b as an intracellular scaffold required for electrical synapse formation and shows its asymmetric localization and function at the postsynaptic side.
