Intercellular coupling mediated by gap junction channels composed of connexin protein underlies numerous physiological processes, such as cellular differentiation, tissue synchronization and metabolic homoeostasis. The distinct molecular permeability of junctional channels composed of different connexin isoforms allows cellular control of coupling via regulation of isoform expression. However, the permeability properties of most connexin isoforms have not been well characterized due to the difficulty of manipulating and measuring the diffusible concentrations of cytoplasmic messenger molecules and metabolites, and to a lack of control over channel isoform composition, in vivo. Here we present a method to express and purify active connexin hemichannels of a single isoform or a consistent ratio of two isoforms from cultured cells using the Tet-On inducible expression system and one-step anti-haemagglutinin immunoaffinity purification. The procedure yields 10–20 μg of pure connexin protein from 2.5×108 HeLa cells. The purified channels are shown to be useful for in vitro permeability analysis using well established techniques. This method has substantial advantages over existing methods for heterologous connexin expression, such as the ease of co-expression of two isoforms at a constant ratio, consistently high expression levels over many passages, and the ability to study channel properties in situ as well as in purified form. Furthermore, the generic cloning site of the new pBI-GT vector and the commercial availability of anti-haemagglutinin (clone HA-7)–agarose make this affinity tagging and purification procedure easily applicable to other proteins.

Wall morphogenesis in higher plants is a problem still open to controversy. Until now the possibility of a transmembrane control and the involvement of microtubules were mostly envisaged. Self-assembly processes have been observed in the case of walls of Chlamydomonas and bacteria. Spontaneous gelling interactions between xanthan and galactomannan from Ceratonia have been analyzed very recently. The present work provides indications that some processes of spontaneous aggregation could occur in higher plants during the formation and expansion of cell wall.Observations were performed on hypocotyl of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) for which growth characteristics and wall composition have been previously defined.In situ, the walls of actively growing cells (primary walls) show an ordered three-dimensional organization (fig. 1). The wall is typically polylamellate with multifibrillar layers alternately transverse and longitudinal. Between these layers intermediate strata exist in which the orientation of microfibrils progressively rotates. Thus a progressive change in the morphogenetic activity occurs.
