Membrane proteins (MPs) are essential to many organisms’ major functions. They are notorious for being difficult to isolate and study, and mimicking native conditions for studies in vitro has proved to be a challenge. Lipid nanodiscs are among the

Abstract Styrene-maleic acid copolymers allow for solubilization and reconstitution of membrane proteins into nanodiscs. These polymer-encased nanodiscs are promising platforms for studies of membrane proteins in a near-physiologic environment withou

In addition to gap junctional channels that mediate cell-to-cell communication, connexins form hemichannels that are present at the plasma membrane. Since hemichannels are permeable to small hydrophilic compounds, including metabolites and signaling

Connexin (Cxs) hemichannels participate in several physiological and pathological processes, but the molecular mechanisms that control their gating remain elusive. We aimed at determining the role of extracellular cysteines (Cys) in the gating and fu

Membrane proteins can be reconstituted in polymer-encased nanodiscs for studies under near-physiological conditions and in the absence of detergents, but traditional styrene-maleic acid copolymers used for this purpose suffer severely from buffer inc

Connexins are membrane proteins involved directly in cell-to-cell communication through the formation of gap-junctional channels. These channels result from the head-to-head docking of two hemichannels, one from each of two adjacent cells. Undocked h

Gap junction channels formed by the association of connexin hemichannels play a crucial role in intercellular communication. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is expressed in a variety of tissues and organs, including heart and brain, and abnormal sustained opening

Hemichannels formed by connexins mediate the exchange of ions and signaling molecules between the cytoplasm and the extracellular milieu. Under physiological conditions hemichannels have a low open probability, but in certain pathologies their open p

Lipid nanodiscs are playing increasingly important roles in studies of the structure and function of membrane proteins. Development of lipid nanodiscs as a membrane-protein-supporting platform, or a drug targeting and delivery vehicle in general, is

Connexins form the gap junctional channels that mediate cell-to-cell communication, and also form hemichannels present at the plasma membrane. Hemichannels are permeable to small hydrophilic compounds, including molecules involved in autocrine and pa
