Overexpressed Ca-v beta 3 inhibits N-type (Ca(v)2.2) calcium channel currents through a hyperpolarizing shift of "ultra-slow" and "closed-state" inactivation [PDF]
, 2004 It has been shown that P auxiliary subunits increase current amplitude in voltage-dependent calcium channels. In this study, however, we found a hovel inhibitory effect of beta3 Subunit on macroscopic Ba2+ currents through recombinant N- and R-type ...

Cell biological mechanisms of activity-dependent synapse to nucleus translocation of CRTC1 in neurons. [PDF]
, 2015 Previous studies have revealed a critical role for CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivator (CRTC1) in regulating neuronal gene expression during learning and memory. CRTC1 localizes to synapses but undergoes activity-dependent nuclear translocation to

The Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel EGL-19 Acts on Glia to Drive Olfactory Adaptation
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Calcium channelopathies have been strongly linked to cardiovascular, muscular, neurological and psychiatric disorders. The voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) are vital transducers of membrane potential changes to facilitate the dynamics of calcium ...

Anomalous L-Type Calcium Channels of Rat Spinal Motoneurons [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1999 Single channel patch-clamp recordings show that embryonic rat spinal motoneurons express anomalous L-type calcium channels, which reopen upon repolarization to resting potentials, displaying both short and long reopenings. The probability of reopening increases with increasing voltage of the preceding depolarization without any apparent correlation ...

Peripheral nerve injury increases contribution of L-type calcium channels to synaptic transmission in spinal lamina II: Role of α2δ-1 subunits [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Following peripheral nerve chronic constriction injury, the accumulation of the α2δ-1 auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated Ca2+channels in primary afferent terminals contributes to the onset of neuropathic pain.

Calpains, Cleaved Mini-Dysferlin(C72), and L-Type Channels Underpin Calcium-Dependent Muscle Membrane Repair [PDF]
, 2013 Dysferlin is proposed as a key mediator of calcium-dependent muscle membrane repair, although its precise role has remained elusive. Dysferlin interacts with a new membrane repair protein, mitsugumin 53 (MG53), an E3 ubiquitin ligase that shows rapid ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
