Functional expression of CLIFAHDD and IHPRF pathogenic variants of the NALCN channel in neuronal cells reveals both gain- and loss-of-function properties

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
The excitability of neurons is tightly dependent on their ion channel repertoire. Among these channels, the leak sodium channel NALCN plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the resting membrane potential.

Estimating the true stability of the prehydrolytic outward-facing state in an ABC protein

open access: yeseLife, 2023
CFTR, the anion channel mutated in cystic fibrosis patients, is a model ABC protein whose ATP-driven conformational cycle is observable at single-molecule level in patch-clamp recordings.

VAMP7 regulates constitutive membrane incorporation of the cold-activated channel TRPM8

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The temperature-sensitive TRPM8 channel is essential for cold sensing and has been linked to pathological cold hypersensitivity. Here, the authors find TRPM8 insertion in the cell membrane is mediated by VAMP7 following atypical LAMP1-containing vesicle ...

Multiple Thresholds in a Model System of Noisy Ion Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Voltage-activated ion channels vary randomly between open and closed states, influenced by the membrane potential and other factors. Signal transduction is enhanced by noise in a simple ion channel model.

How Does Our Knowledge on the Na+/H+ Exchanger NHE1 Obtained by Biochemical and Molecular Analyses Keep up With Its Recent Structure Determination?

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Na+/H+ exchangers are membrane transporters conserved in all living systems and therefore are assumed to be amongst the most ancestral molecular devices that equipped the first protocells.
