Alterations in Cx43 Distribution and Ubiquitination with Pacing. A) Fractionation of heart samples suggests that Cx43 is reduced in the sarcolemma-enriched fraction of the paced hearts and increased in the non-sarcolemmal supernatant. B) Immunoprecipitation for Cx43 and blotting for ubiquitin suggests that there is an increased accumulation of ubiquitinated Cx43 in the paced hearts compared to sham-paced controls. In this image, mono-ubiquitinated Cx43 is seen just above the 40 kD size marker and poly-ubiquitinated forms of Cx43 appear as a slower migrating smear.
