Molecular architecture of potassium chloride co-transporter KCC2 [PDF]
AbstractKCC2 is a neuron specific K+-Cl− co-transporter that controls neuronal chloride homeostasis, and is critically involved in many neurological diseases including brain trauma, epilepsies, autism and schizophrenia. Despite significant accumulating data on the biology and electrophysiological properties of KCC2, structure-function relationships ...

WNK1/HSN2 isoform and the regulation of KCC2 activity [PDF]
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 2 is a rare autosomal recessive pathology presenting with early onset peripheral sensory defects. It arises from mutations affecting a specific isoform of the WNK1 kinase (with-no-lysine protein kinase 1) termed WNK1/HSN2. The role of WNK1 in the nervous system is not well understood. In our recent paper,

Mutations in SLC12A5 in epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures [PDF]
The potassium-chloride co-transporter KCC2, encoded by SLC12A5, plays a fundamental role in fast synaptic inhibition by maintaining a hyperpolarizing gradient for chloride ions.

The structural basis of function and regulation of neuronal cotransporters NKCC1 and KCC2
NKCC and KCC transporters mediate coupled transport of Na + +K + +Cl − and K + +Cl − across the plasma membrane, thus regulating cell Cl − concentration and cell volume and playing critical roles in transepithelial salt and water transport and in ...

Hyperpolarizing GABAergic transmission depends on KCC2 function and membrane potential [PDF]
KCC2 comprises the major Cl(-) extruding mechanism in most adult neurons. Hyperpolarizing GABAergic transmission depends on KCC2 function. We recently demonstrated that glutamate reduces KCC2 function by a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism that leads to excitatory GABA responses. Here we investigated the methods by which to estimate changes in E(GABA)

Kcc2 plays a critical role in determining the efficacy of synaptic inhibition, however, the cellular mechanisms neurons use to regulate its membrane trafficking, stability and activity are ill-defined.

A new mechanism of consciousness recovery from anesthesia regulated by K+‐Cl– cotransporter KCC2
Neuroscience faces a puzzle in understanding the mechanism of general anesthesia. In the past, it was widely believed that recovery from anesthesia was a passive process caused by the breakdown of anesthetic agents.
