Analysis of the effect of the scorpion toxin AaH-II on action potential generation in the axon initial segment

open access: yesScientific Reports
The toxin AaH-II, from the scorpion Androctonus australis Hector venom, is a 64 amino acid peptide that targets voltage-gated Na+ channels (VGNCs) and slows their inactivation. While at macroscopic cellular level AaH-II prolongs the action potential (AP),

Discovery of the Potentiator of the Pore-Forming Ability of Lantibiotic Nisin: Perspectives for Anticancer Therapy

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
This study was focused on the action of lantibiotic nisin on the phospholipid membranes. Nisin did not produce ion-permeable pores in the membranes composed of DOPC or DOPE. The introduction of DOPS into bilayer lipid composition led to a decrease in the

Mitochondrial Ion Channels [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Physiology, 2007
In work spanning more than a century, mitochondria have been recognized for their multifunctional roles in metabolism, energy transduction, ion transport, inheritance, signaling, and cell death. Foremost among these tasks is the continuous production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, which requires a large electrochemical driving force for ...

Scentsational Ion Channels [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 1996
Finally, but perhaps most enticing, Coburn and Bargmann also observed striking defects in the growth of sensory axons in tax-2 and tax-4 mutants. The defects were primarily expressed as an overgrowth of axonal processes, with subsets of sensory neurons displaying either inappropriate additional axonal branches or a failure to terminate upon reaching ...
