Coupled ion binding and structural transitions along the transport cycle of glutamate transporters
eLife, 2014 Membrane transporters that clear the neurotransmitter glutamate from synapses are driven by symport of sodium ions and counter-transport of a potassium ion. Previous crystal structures of a homologous archaeal sodium and aspartate symporter showed that a

Dynamic gating of infrared radiation in a textile
Science, 2019 A cloth that adapts to the heat Textiles trap infrared radiation, which helps keep us warm in cold weather. Of course, in hot weather, this is less desirable. Zhang et al.

The gating cycle of a K+ channel at atomic resolution
eLife, 2017 C-type inactivation in potassium channels helps fine-tune long-term channel activity through conformational changes at the selectivity filter. Here, through the use of cross-linked constitutively open constructs, we determined the structures of KcsA’s ...

Cryo-EM structure of the calcium release-activated calcium channel Orai in an open conformation
eLife, 2020 The calcium release-activated calcium channel Orai regulates Ca2+ entry into non-excitable cells and is required for proper immune function. While the channel typically opens following Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum, certain pathologic ...

The response of the tandem pore potassium channel TASK-3 (K2P9.1) to voltage : gating at the cytoplasmic mouth [PDF]
, 2009 Although the tandem pore potassium channel TASK-3 is thought to open and shut at its selectivity filter in response to changes of extracellular pH, it is currently unknown whether the channel also shows gating at its inner, cytoplasmic mouth through ...

Membrane mechanics as a probe of ion-channel gating mechanisms [PDF]
, 2008 The details of conformational changes undergone by transmembrane ion channels in response to stimuli, such as electric fields and membrane tension, remain controversial.

Trypanosomes at the Gates [PDF]
Science, 2005 L ike many colleagues, I sometimes thought I'd never see the day when three small parasites would be so celebrated. After all, why should people outside of the small cohort of dedicated scientists and sponsors pay any attention to these “Tritryps”— Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi , and Leishmania major —whose genomes appear in this issue of ...

Activity and Ca2+ regulate the mobility of TRPV1 channels in the plasma membrane of sensory neurons
eLife, 2015 TRPV1 channels are gated by a variety of thermal, chemical, and mechanical stimuli. We used optical recording of Ca2+ influx through TRPV1 to measure activity and mobility of single TRPV1 molecules in isolated dorsal root ganglion neurons and cell lines.
