Inhibition of the human ether‐a‐go‐go‐related gene (HERG) potassium channel by cisapride: affinity for open and inactivated states [PDF]
Cisapride is a prokinetic agent which has been associated with QT prolongation, torsades de pointes and cardiac arrest. The cellular mechanism for these observations is high affinity blockade of IKr (encoded by HERG). In a chronic transfection model using CHO‐K1 cells, cisapride inhibited HERG tail currents after a step to +25 mV with similar potency

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Metal‐free carbon catalysts enable the sustainable synthesis of hydrogen peroxide via two‐electron oxygen reduction; however, active site complexity continues to hinder reliable interpretation. This review critiques correlation‐based approaches and highlights the importance of orthogonal experimental designs, standardized catalyst passports ...

Expression and Role of the Ether-à-Go-Go-Related (MERG1A) Potassium-Channel Protein During Preimplantation Mouse Development1 [PDF]
Potassium channels play important roles in many cellular processes, including cell-cycle progression and cell differentiation. In the present study, we investigated the pattern of expression of the mouse ether-à-go-go-related (KCNH2; MERG1A) potassium channel during mouse embryogenic development.

Proliferative role of Kv11 channels in murine arteries [PDF]
K+ channels encoded by the ether-a-go-go related gene (ERG1 or KCNH2) are important determinants of the cardiac action potential. Expression of both cardiac isoforms (ERG1 and ERG1b) were identified in murine portal vein and distinctive voltage-gated K ...

Pectin Metabolism Influences Phloem Architecture and Flowering Time in Arabidopsis Thaliana
Cell wall remodeling mediated by changes in pectic homogalacturonan, including its methyl‐esterification status and degradation, shapes wall architecture. This study finds that pectin metabolism dynamically modulates wall properties and triggers auxin responses, which influence phloem morphogenesis and function, mediating the long‐distance transport of
