Abstract

Gap junctions are specialized plasma membrane domains enriched in connexin proteins that form channels between adjacent cells. Gap junctions are highly dynamic, and modulation of the connexin turnover rate is considered to play an important role in the regulation of gap junctional intercellular communication. In the present study, we show that the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) induces ubiquitination of connexin-43 (Cx43) in IAR20 rat liver epithelial cells. The accelerated ubiquitination of Cx43 in response to TPA occurred concomitantly with Cx43 hyperphosphorylation and inhibition of cell-cell communication via gap junctions. The TPA-induced ubiquitination of Cx43 was mediated via protein kinase C and partly involved the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Following ubiquitination, Cx43 was internalized and degraded. The loss of Cx43 protein was counteracted by ammonium chloride, indicating that acidification of internalized Cx43 gap junctions is a prerequisite for its degradation. Furthermore, the Cx43 degradation was partly counteracted by leupeptin, an inhibitor of cathepsin B, H, and L. Cx43 internalization and subsequent degradation were blocked by inhibitors of the proteas...Continue Reading
