Nature Communications, 2022 Photoactivable toxins targeting ion channels have great potential to control cell activity. Here the authors report HwTxIV-Nvoc, a UV light-cleavable and photoactivatable peptide that targets voltage-gated sodium channels; they validate this in cells ...

Role of the CaV1.2 distal carboxy terminus in the regulation of L-type current
ChannelsL-type calcium channels are essential for the excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle. The CaV1.2 channel is the most predominant isoform in the ventricle which consists of a multi-subunit membrane complex that includes the CaV1.2 pore-forming ...

Label-free optical imaging of ion channel activity on living cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Deciphering ion channel activity and signaling interactions within cells is one of the key tasks of neuroscience. Currently, measuring this electrophysiological activity is done using patch-clamp1-4 or voltage-sensitive imaging5-8. Unfortunately, these techniques are unable to balance between single-channel sensitivity and highthroughput detection ...

Mitochondrial Ion Channels [PDF]
Annual 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 ...

Electrogenic transport and K(+) ion channel expression by the human endolymphatic sac epithelium. [PDF]
, 2015 The endolymphatic sac (ES) is a cystic organ that is a part of the inner ear and is connected to the cochlea and vestibule. The ES is thought to be involved in inner ear ion homeostasis and fluid volume regulation for the maintenance of hearing and ...

Simulation and calculation of the contribution of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels to action potentials [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2016 The hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel, which mediates the influx of cations, has an important role in action potential generation.

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 A search in the GDC Data Portal revealed 304 documented somatic mutations of the KCNJ3 gene in primary tumors (out of 10.202 cases). Most affected tumor types were carcinomas from uterus, skin and lung, while breast cancer exerted the lowest number of ...

Scentsational Ion Channels [PDF]
Neuron, 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 ...

New Views of Multi-Ion Channels [PDF]
, 1998 Thus, most site-directed mutagenesis data render it untenable to consider that two or more roughly equivalent high affinity sites govern selectivity in multi-ion pores. The papers by Dang and McCleskey and Kiss et al. respond to this challenge by showing

TRPM Family Channels in Cancer
Pharmaceuticals, 2018 Members of the TRPM (“Melastatin”) family fall into the subclass of the TRP channels having varying permeability to Ca2+ and Mg2+, with three members of the TRPM family being chanzymes, which contain C-terminal enzyme domains.
