A schistosome [beta] subunit remodels inactivation of a calcium channel _via_ an N-terminal polyacidic motif

open access: yes, 2010
The beta subunit of high voltage-activated Ca (Cav) channels targets the pore forming [alpha]~1~ subunit to the plasma membrane and defines the biophysical phenotype of the Cav channel complex. Cav channel inactivation following activation and opening is

Potassium channels in prostate and colonic cancer

open access: yes, 2007
Large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels in human prostate cancer The KCNMA1 gene encoding the alpha-subunit of BK channels is amplified and BK channel expression is enhanced in late-stage, metastatic and hormone-refractory human prostate cancer ...

Postsynaptic protein kinase a reduces neuronal excitability in response to increased synaptic excitation in the Drosophila CNS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Previous work has identified a role for synaptic activity in the development of excitable properties of motoneurons in the Drosophila embryo. In this study the underlying mechanism that enables two such neurons, termed aCC and RP2, to respond to ...

Evolution of voltage-gated sodium channels

open access: yes, 2013
Voltage-gated sodium channels play important roles in the nervous system by enabling propagation of action potentials along axons. It has been suggested that sodium channels evolved from calcium channels before the split of animals and choanoflagellates,

Kinetic model based on molecular mechanism for action potential

open access: yes, 2011
The Hodgkin-Huxley model for action potentials has been widely used but was not built on a microscopic description of the neuronal membrane. Through molecular dynamics simulations, the molecular mechanism of the channel currents is becoming clear ...

State-Dependent Actions Of Sodium Channel Inhibitor Insecticides On Mammalian Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Sodium channel inhibitor insecticides are an emerging class of neurotoxic insect control agents that selectively inhibit voltage-gated sodium channels at membrane potentials that promote slow sodium channel inactivation.
