The conduction pore of a cardiac potassium channel. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Ion channels form transmembrane water-filled pores that allow ions to cross membranes in a rapid and selective fashion. The amino acid residues that line these pores have been sought to reveal the mechanisms of ion conduction and selectivity. The pore (P)

Inhibition of Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay by Antisense Morpholino Oligonucleotides Restores Functional Expression of hERG Nonsense and Frameshift Mutations in Long-QT Syndrome

open access: yes, 2010
Mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) cause long-QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). We previously described a homozygous LQT2 nonsense mutation Q1070X in which the mutant mRNA is degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) leading to a ...

A Heterozygous Missense hERG Mutation Associated with Early Repolarization Syndrome

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Early repolarization syndrome (ERS) has been recently recognized as early repolarization pattern with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. However, the genetic background of ERS has not been fully understood.

ERG1A K+ channel increases intracellular calcium concentration through modulation of calsequestrin1 in C2C12 myotubes

open access: yesScientific Reports
The ERG1A K+ channel modulates the protein degradation that contributes to skeletal muscle atrophy by increasing intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and enhancing calpain activity, but the mechanism by which the channel regulates the [Ca2+]i is

Procaine, a State-Dependent Blocker, Inhibits HERG Channels by Helix Residue Y652 and F656 in the S6 Transmembrane Domain

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
The article evaluated the inhibitory action of procaine on wild-type and mutated HERG potassium channel current (IHERG) to determine whether mutations in the S6 region are important for the inhibition of IHERG by procaine.

Disease-associated mutations in KCNE potassium channel subunits (MiRPs) reveal promiscuous disruption of multiple currents and conservation of mechanism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
KCNE genes encode single transmembrane-domain subunits, the MinK-related peptides (MiRPs), which assemble with pore-forming alpha subunits to establish the attributes of potassium channels in vivo.

Hypoxia induced hERG trafficking defect linked to cell cycle arrest in SH-SY5Y cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The alpha subunit of the voltage gated human ether-a-go-go-related (hERG) potassium channel regulates cell excitability in a broad range of cell lines.
