Conformational changes in a pore-forming region underlie voltage-dependent “loop gating” of an unapposed connexin hemichannel

The structure of the pore is critical to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying selective permeation and voltage-dependent gating of channels formed by the connexin gene family. Here, we describe a portion of the pore structure of unapposed hemichannels formed by a Cx32 chimera, Cx32*Cx43...
