Spliced Sodium Channel Transcripts
Sodium (Na) channel cDNAs were synthesized from RNA isolated from rat brain, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle. Partial cDNAs coding for the largest cytoplasmic loop of the Na channel were amplified with PCR. Sequence analysis of these cDNAs revealed that Na channel cDNAs originally described as brain genes were also expressed in both cardiac and skeletal muscle. Some of these cDNAs were isof...
متن کاملSodium current density correlates with expression of specific alternatively spliced sodium channel mRNAs in single neurons.
Elements within the first cytoplasmic loop of voltage-gated sodium channels have been implicated in regulating channel function. We have examined the role of alternative splicing within the first cytoplasmic loop of the Drosophila sodium channel gene para in regulating sodium current expression, using single-cell RT-PCR. In addition to a previously described exon (a), we identified a second exo...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of alternatively spliced human SERCA3 transcripts.
The sarcoplasmic (or endoplasmic) reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)-3 has been implicated in the possible dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis that accompanies the pathology of hypertension and diabetes. We report the molecular cloning of two alternatively spliced transcripts from the human SERCA3 gene, ATP2A3, that encode proteins that differ at their carboxy termini by 36 amino acids. SERCA3 transcr...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced domains interact to regulate BK potassium channel gating.
Most human genes contain multiple alternative splice sites believed to extend the complexity and diversity of the proteome. However, little is known about how interactions among alternative exons regulate protein function. We used the Caenorhabditis elegans slo-1 large-conductance calcium and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channel gene, which contains three alternative splice sites (A, B, and...
