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.

Trafficking of Connexin36 (Cx36) in the early secretory pathway

Stephan Tetenborg, Fatemeh Ariakia, Elizabeth Martinez-Soler…·John O’Brien

This study identifies the C-terminal region of Cx36 as critical for its transport from the ER to the Golgi via interactions with COPII and Grasp55.
