The Voltage Sensor in Voltage-Dependent Ion Channels [PDF]

Physiological Reviews, 2000
In voltage-dependent Na, K, or Ca channels, the probability of opening is modified by the membrane potential. This is achieved through a voltage sensor that detects the voltage and transfers its energy to the pore to control its gate. We present here the theoretical basis of the energy coupling between the electric field and the voltage, which allows ...

Surface-Integrated Electric Field Sensor for the Detection of High-Voltage Power Lines

Sensors, 2021
When a drone is used for inspection of facilities, there are often cases in which high-voltage power lines interfere, resulting in the drone being caught or falling. To prevent this type of incident, drones must be capable of detecting high-voltage power

Optimized tight binding between the S1 segment and KCNE3 is required for the constitutively open nature of the KCNQ1-KCNE3 channel complex

eLife, 2022
Tetrameric voltage-gated K+ channels have four identical voltage sensor domains, and they regulate channel gating. KCNQ1 (Kv7.1) is a voltage-gated K+ channel, and its auxiliary subunit KCNE proteins dramatically regulate its gating.

Deletion of cytosolic gating ring decreases gate and voltage sensor coupling in BK channels [PDF]

, 2017
Large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (BK channels) gate open in response to both membrane voltage and intracellular Ca(2+). The channel is formed by a central pore-gate domain (PGD), which spans the membrane, plus transmembrane voltage ...

Voltage Sensor Movements [PDF]

The Journal of General Physiology, 2002
The voltage dependence of K+, Na+, and Ca2+ channels is brought about by a voltage sensor that moves ∼12–13 e across the entire electric field ([Schoppa et al., 1992][1]; [Hirschberg et al., 1996][2]; [Noceti et al., 1996][3]).

Uncooperative Voltage Sensors [PDF]

Journal of General Physiology, 2009
A typical voltage-gated potassium (Kv) or sodium channel is exquisitely sensitive to small changes of membrane potential, so much so that a depolarization of

Design and Simulation Test of an Open D-Dot Voltage Sensor

Sensors, 2015
Nowadays, sensor development focuses on miniaturization and non-contact measurement. According to the D-dot principle, a D-dot voltage sensor with a new structure was designed based on the differential D-dot sensor with a symmetrical structure, called an

The Identification of Travelling Waves in a Voltage Sensor Signal in a Medium Voltage Grid Using the Short-Time Matrix Pencil Method

Energies, 2022
Most of the fault wave localization methods are based on the analysis of line current transformed by current transformers and are limited to high voltage grids. Fault wave localization in medium voltage grids is still being developed. This paper presents

A Voltage-Sensor Water Pore [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2006
Voltage-sensor (VS) domains cause the pore of voltage-gated ion channels to open and close in response to changes in transmembrane potential. Recent experimental studies suggest that VS domains are independent structural units. This independence is revealed dramatically by a voltage-dependent proton-selective channel (Hv), which has a sequence ...
