ZO-1 alters the plasma membrane localization and function of Cx43 in osteoblastic cells

ZO-1 is the major connexin-interacting protein in ROS 17/2.8 (ROS) osteoblastic cells. We examined the role of ZO-1 in Cx43-mediated gap junction formation and function in ROS cells that expressed the connexin-interacting fragment of ZO-1 (ROS/ZO-1dn) cells. Expression of this ZO-17-444 fusion protein in ROS cells disrupted the Cx43/ZO-1 interaction and decreased dye transfer by 85%, although Cx43 was retained on the plasma membrane as assessed by surface biotinylation. Fractionation of lysates derived from ROS/ZO-1dn cells on a 5-30% sucrose flotation gradient showed that 40% of the Cx43 floated into these sucrose gradients, whereas none of the Cx43 in ROS cell lysates entered the gradients, suggesting that more Cx43 is associated with lipid rafts in the transfected ROS cells than in lysates derived from untransfected ROS cells. In contrast to the ROS/ZO-1dn cells, ROS cells that over-expressed ZO-1 protein (ROS/ZO-1myc cells) exhibited increased gap junctional permeability and appositional membrane staining for Cx43. These data demonstrate that ZO-1 regulates Cx43-mediated gap junctional communication in osteoblastic cells and alters the membrane localization of Cx43. They suggest that ZO-1-mediated delivery of Cx43 from a lipid raft domain to gap junctional plaques may be an important regulatory step in gap junction formation.
