Cx43 hemichannels (HCs) are electrically and chemically gated transmembrane pores with low open probability and multiple conductance states, which makes kinetic studies of channel gating in large datasets challenging. Here, we developed open access software, named HemiGUI, to analyze HC gating transitions and investigated voltage-induced HC opening based on up to ≈4000 events recorded in HeLa-Cx43-overexpressing cells. We performed a detailed characterization of Cx43 HC gating profiles and specifically focused on the role of the C-terminal tail (CT) domain by recording the impact of adding an EGFP tag to the Cx43 CT end (Cx43-EGFP) or by supplying the Cx43 HC-inhibiting peptide Gap19 that interferes with CT interaction with the cytoplasmic loop (CL). We found that Gap19 not only decreased HC opening activity to the open state (≈217 pS) but also increased the propensity of subconductance (≈80 pS) transitions that additionally became slower as compared to the control. The work demonstrates that large sample transition analysis allows detailed investigations on Cx43 HC gating and shows that Gap19 acts as a HC gating modifier by interacting with the CT that forms a crucial gating element.
