Molecular Dynamics Simulations of a Putative Novel Mechanism for UCP1‐Assisted FA Anion Transport
ABSTRACT Background Mitochondrial energy can be stored as ATP or released as heat by uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) during non‐shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. UCP1, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, reduces the proton gradient in the presence of long‐chain fatty acids (FA).

Fluorometric Liposome Screen for Inhibitors of a Physiologically Important Bacterial Ion Channel [PDF]
The bacterial K+ homeostasis machinery is widely conserved across bacterial species, and different from that in animals. Dysfunction in components of the machinery has an impact on intracellular turgor, membrane potential, adaptation to changes in both ...

Use of Ion-Channel Modulating Agents to Study Cyanobacterial Na(+) - K(+) Fluxes [PDF]
Here we describe an experimental design aimed to investigate changes in total cellular levels of Na(+) and K(+) ions in cultures of freshwater filamentous cyanobacteria. Ion concentrations were measured in whole cells by flame photometry.

With no lysine kinase 4 modulates sodium potassium 2 chloride cotransporter activity in vivo.
With no lysine kinase 4 (WNK4) is essential to activate the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC) along the distal convoluted tubule, an effect central to the phenotype of familial hyperkalemic hypertension. Although effects on potassium and sodium

Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2014 risk assessment on perchlorate in food. Perchlorate is a contaminant of both natural and anthropogenic sources present in food and drinking water. It is a substrate for the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) and competitively inhibits the uptake of iodide into the thyroid.

Substrate-bound outward-open structure of a Na+-coupled sialic acid symporter reveals a new Na+ site [PDF]
Many pathogenic bacteria utilise sialic acids as an energy source or use them as an external coating to evade immune detection. As such, bacteria that colonise sialylated environments deploy specific transporters to mediate import of scavenged sialic ...
