Small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels and calmodulin.
Small conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (SK channels) contribute to the long lasting afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that follows an action potential in many central neurones. The biophysical and pharmacological attributes of cloned SK channels strongly suggest that one or more of them underlie the medium component of the AHP that regulates interspike interval and plays an important role ...
متن کاملIns and outs of Cdc14
Virus takes the actin express V iruses typically hitchhike around the cytoplasm on microtubules. Ohkawa et al. reveal that one type of virus can travel within the cell using actin fi laments. Once baculoviruses break into a cell, they need a lift to the nucleus so their genetic material can be copied. However, these viruses don’t require microtubules for the journey. Ohkawa et al. investigated ...
متن کاملIns and Outs of E2Fs
Precise control of the mitotic cell cycle is a critical feature of eukaryotic life. In humans, mutations in cell cycle regulatory genes lead to the uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor formation associated with the most dreaded of all diseases, cancer. E2F transcription factors are key components of an elaborate mechanism of cell cycle control in higher eukaryotes. For example, the promote...

متن کاملThe Ins and Outs of Anthrax Toxin
Anthrax is a severe, although rather rare, infectious disease that is caused by the Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The infectious form is the spore and the major virulence factors of the bacterium are its poly-γ-D-glutamic acid capsule and the tripartite anthrax toxin. The discovery of the anthrax toxin receptors in the early 2000s has allowed in-depth studies on the...
