Chloride channel and chloride conductance regulator domains of CFTR, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
CFTR is a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-activated chloride (Cl-) channel and a regulator of outwardly rectifying Cl- channels (ORCCs) in airway epithelia. CFTR regulates ORCCs by facilitating the release of ATP out of cells. Once released from cells, ATP stimulates ORCCs by means of a purinergic receptor. To define the domains of CFTR important for Cl- channel function and/or ORCC regulator function, mutan...
متن کاملSmall conductance potassium channels drive ATP-activated chloride secretion in the oviduct.
The molecular mechanisms controlling fluid secretion within the oviduct have yet to be determined. As in other epithelia, both secretory and absorptive pathways are likely to work in tandem to drive appropriate ionic movement to support fluid movement across the oviduct epithelium. This study explored the role of potassium channels in basolateral extracellular ATP (ATP(e))-stimulated ion transp...
متن کاملEffect of ATP-sensitive K+ channel regulators on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator chloride currents
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a Cl- channel that is regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and by intracellular ATP. Intracellular ATP also regulates a class of K+ channels that have a distinct pharmacology: they are inhibited by sulfonylureas and activated by a novel class of drugs called K+ channel openers. In search of modulators of CFTR Cl- channels,...
متن کاملCystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator–associated ATP Release Is Controlled by a Chloride Sensor
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride channel that is defective in cystic fibrosis, and has also been closely associated with ATP permeability in cells. Using a Xenopus oocyte cRNA expression system, we have evaluated the molecular mechanisms that control CFTR-modulated ATP release. CFTR-modulated ATP release was dependent on both cAMP activation and a gra...
متن کاملHigh-conductance chloride channels in BC3H1 myoblasts.
The existence of a high-conductance voltage sensitive chloride channel in BC3H1 myoblasts is documented. The conductance of the channel in symmetrical 150 mmol/l sodium chloride is around 400 pS. The probability of the channel being in the open state decreases with increasing of the imposed voltage from holding potential (0 mV) in both the depolarizing and the hyperpolarizing direction respecti...
