Molecular mechanisms underlying enhanced hemichannel function of a cataract-associated Cx50 mutant

Jun-Jie Tong et al.

Summary: The cataract-associated mutant Cx50T39R exhibits enhanced hemichannel currents and altered voltage-gating properties, leading to potential cytotoxicity. Coexpression of mutant T39R with wild-type Cx50 shows dominant effects, while coexpression with Cx46 increases hemichannel activity. In contrast, coexpression of wild-type Cx50 with Cx46 reduces hemichannel activity, suggesting a protective effect.

Differential Domain Distribution of gnomAD- and Disease-Linked Connexin Missense Variants

Donglin Bai et al.

Summary: The study revealed that disease-linked missense variants of connexins tend to be enriched in structurally stable domains, particularly in the pore-lining domains, while gnomAD-linked missense variants are enriched in structurally unstable domains, especially in the carboxyl terminus. This information is valuable for classifying the pathogenicity of newly identified connexin variants.
