A role for voltage-dependent anion channel Vdac1 in polyglutamine-mediated neuronal cell death. [PDF]
Expansion of trinucleotide repeats in coding and non-coding regions of genes is associated with sixteen neurodegenerative disorders. However, the molecular effects that lead to neurodegeneration have remained elusive.

Porin 1 Modulates Autophagy in Yeast
Autophagy is a cellular recycling program which efficiently reduces the cellular burden of ageing. Autophagy is characterised by nucleation of isolation membranes, which grow in size and further expand to form autophagosomes, engulfing cellular material ...

Can the Thermodynamic Hodgkin-Huxley Model of Voltage-Dependent Conductance Extrapolate for Temperature? [PDF]
Hodgkin and Huxley (H-H) fitted their model of voltage-dependent conductances to experimental data using empirical functions of voltage. The thermodynamic H-H model of voltage dependent conductances is more physically plausible, as it constrains and ...

VDAC: Voltage Dependant Anion Channel
VDAC (Voltage Dependent Anion Channel) is a channel protein located on the outer mitochondrial membrane. It regulates mitochondria functions and cell respiration through the exchange of molecules between the cytoplasm and the organelle, such as ADP, ATP, anions, cations, and other small, hydrophilic molecules.

Protocol: optimised electrophyiological analysis of intact guard cells from arabidopsis [PDF]
Genetic resources available for Arabidopsis thaliana make this species particularly attractive as a model for molecular genetic studies of guard cell homeostasis, transport and signalling, but this facility is not matched by accessible tools for ...

β-Barrel Mobility Underlies Closure of the Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel [PDF]
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the major protein in the outer mitochondrial membrane, where it mediates transport of ATP and ADP. Changes in its permeability, induced by voltage or apoptosis-related proteins, have been implicated in apoptotic pathways.

Recombinant yeast VDAC2: a comparison of electrophysiological features with the native form
Voltage‐dependent anion channel isoform 2 of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yVDAC2) was believed for many years to be devoid of channel activity. Recently, we isolated yVDAC2 and showed that it exhibits channel‐forming activity in the planar lipid ...

Microglial K(+) channel expression in young adult and aged mice. [PDF]
The K(+) channel expression pattern of microglia strongly depends on the cells' microenvironment and has been recognized as a sensitive marker of the cells' functional state. While numerous studies have been performed on microglia in vitro, our knowledge
