The Connexin46 Mutant, Cx46T19M, Causes Loss of Gap Junction Function and Alters Hemi-channel Gating
An N-terminal mutant of connexin46 (T19M) alters a highly conserved threonine and has been linked to autosomal dominant cataracts. To study the cellular and functional consequences of substitution of this amino acid, T19M was expressed in Xenopus oocytes and in HeLa cells. Unlike wild-type Cx46, T19...
