title: Connexin 43 gap junction plaque endocytosis implies molecular remodelling of ZO-1 and c-Src partners.
abstract: Gap junctions, through their constitutive proteins, connexins (Cx), are involved in several processes including regulation of cellular proliferation, tissue differentiation, homeostasis and neoplasic transformation. Internalization of the gap junction plaque to form annular gap junction is a dynamic process, which present similarities with endocytosis, and participates in the control of gap junction coupling. Cx43 exhibits dynamic trafficking that needs sequential implication of a large number of protein partners. We have recently shown that ZO-1 localized in both sides of the gap junction plaque was restricted to one side during internalization. The dissociation between ZO-1 and Cx43 particularly occurred on the face where c-Src specifically associated with Cx43 and was abnormally accelerated in response to a carcinogen. In this addendum we summarize and further discuss these results.
