Modeled channel distributions explain extracellular recordings from cultured neurons sealed to microelectrodes [PDF]
Amplitudes and shapes of extracellular recordings from single neurons cultured on a substrate embedded microelectrode depend not only on the volume conducting properties of the neuron-electrode interface, but might also depend on the distribution of ...

MJK2, a K+Channel from M. Jannaschii Mediates pH Dependent Potassium Transport Activity [PDF]
MjK2 was expressed in E. coli cells as a fusion protein containing N-or C-terminal an antibody binding site and a histidinehexamer. The C-terminal tagged fusion protein allows the expression and purification of an extra soluble RCK domain at p34 kDa ...

A hydrophobic barrier deep within the inner pore of the TWIK-1 K2P potassium channel
Recent X-ray crystal structures of the two-pore domain (K2P) family of potassium channels have revealed a unique structural architecture at the point where the cytoplasmic bundle-crossing gate is found in most other tetrameric K+ channels.

Single-channel recordings from cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells. [PDF]
We have applied patch-clamp techniques to on-cell and excised-membrane patches from human retinal pigment epithelial cells in tissue culture. Single-channel currents from at least four ion channel types were observed: three or more potassium-selective ...

Selective disruption of high sensitivity heat activation but not capsaicin activation of TRPV1 channels by pore turret mutations. [PDF]
The capsaicin receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV)1 is a highly heat-sensitive ion channel. Although chemical activation and heat activation of TRPV1 elicit similar pungent, painful sensation, the molecular mechanism underlying ...

On ionic conduction in potassium channels [PDF]
In ref. 1, we presented an alternative mechanism for conduction of K+ in K+ channels where site vacancies are involved, and we proposed that coexistence of several ion permeation mechanisms is energetically possible. Specifically, we found that conduction can be described as a more anarchic phenomenon than previously habitually characterized by the ...

The conduction pore of a cardiac potassium channel. [PDF]
Ion channels form transmembrane water-filled pores that allow ions to cross membranes in a rapid and selective fashion. The amino acid residues that line these pores have been sought to reveal the mechanisms of ion conduction and selectivity. The pore (P)

The response of the tandem pore potassium channel TASK-3 (K2P9.1) to voltage : gating at the cytoplasmic mouth [PDF]
Although the tandem pore potassium channel TASK-3 is thought to open and shut at its selectivity filter in response to changes of extracellular pH, it is currently unknown whether the channel also shows gating at its inner, cytoplasmic mouth through ...
