The growing number of connexins (i.e. Cx43 and Cx45) that can associate with ZO proteins indicate that ZO proteins may play a more general role in organizing gap junctions and/or in recruiting signaling molecules that regulate intercellular communication.

Cx46 (GJA3) and Cx50 (GJA8) interact with ZO-1

Cx50 requires an intact PDZ-binding motif and ZO-1 for the formation of functional intercellular channels.

ZO-1 formed a clear margin around the large Cx50 plaques instead of being colocalized with the connexin staining.
This finding suggests the involvement of ZO-1 in the composition of tight or adherens junctions around gap-junctional plaques instead of interacting with connexins directly
