The associations between Cx43 and ZO-1 and ZO-2 proteins were shown to be under cell-cycle stage-specific control.
Connexin 43 interacts preferentially
with ZO-1 during G0 stage, whereas the interaction with ZO-2 is approximately the same during the various stages

In mouse epithelial cells lacking any ZO-1 expression, there is retarded tight junction formation.
This phenotype was rescued by exogenous expression of ZO-1, but not by ZO-2, suggesting that these proteins are not functionally redundant
