Skeletal muscle delimited myopathy and verapamil toxicity in SUR2 mutant mouse models of AIMS [PDF]
ABCC9‐related intellectual disability and myopathy syndrome (AIMS) arises from loss‐of‐function (LoF) mutations in the ABCC9 gene, which encodes the SUR2 subunit of ATP‐sensitive potassium (KATP) channels.

Involvement of SUR2/Kir6.1 channel in the physiopathology of pulmonary arterial hypertension
AimsWe hypothesized that the ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP) regulatory subunit (ABCC9) contributes to PAH pathogenesis. ABCC9 gene encodes for two regulatory subunits of KATP channels: the SUR2A and SUR2B proteins.

Targeting Host Sulphonyl Urea Receptor 2 Can Reduce Severity of Helicobacter pylori Associated Gastritis [PDF]
Background and Aims: While most Helicobacter pylori-infected individuals remain asymptomatic throughout their lifetime, in a significant proportion, the resulting severe chronic gastritis drives the development of gastric cancer.

Pulmonary hypertension associated with diazoxide: the SUR1 paradox [PDF]
The ATP-sensitive potassium channels and their regulatory subunits, sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1/Kir6.2) and SUR2/Kir6.1, contribute to the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH).

Structural identification of vasodilator binding sites on the SUR2 subunit
SUR2-containing KATP channels are drug targets for certain vasodilators. Here, the authors determine high-resolution cryo-EM structures of SUR2 in complex with two vasodilators, P1075 and levcromakalim, uncovering the mechanisms of these drugs.

Complex consequences of Cantu syndrome SUR2 variant R1154Q in genetically modified mice
Cantu syndrome (CS) is caused by gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in pore-forming (Kir6.1, KCNJ8) and accessory (SUR2, ABCC9) ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel subunits, the most common mutations being SUR2[R1154Q] and SUR2[R1154W], carried by ...

Zoledronic Acid Blocks Overactive Kir6.1/SUR2-Dependent KATP Channels in Skeletal Muscle and Osteoblasts in a Murine Model of Cantú Syndrome [PDF]
Cantú syndrome (CS) is caused by the gain of function mutations in the ABCC9 and KCNJ8 genes encoding, respectively, for the sulfonylureas receptor type 2 (SUR2) and the inwardly rectifier potassium channel 6.1 (Kir6.1) of the ATP-sensitive potassium ...

Gain-of-function mutations in KATP channel subunits compromise colonic tight junction integrity and epithelial homeostasis in murine models of Cantú syndrome [PDF]
IntroductionCantú syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in the KCNJ8 (Kir6.1) or ABCC9 (SUR2) subunits of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels.

The IAOx-Dependent IAA Biosynthesis Pathway: Acquired Insights, Paradigm Shifts, and Unresolved Questions [PDF]
The auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is essential for plant growth and stress adaptation. Its biosynthesis via the indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) pathway has recently undergone a paradigm shift.
