Permeability Properties of Enac Selectivity Filter Mutants
The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC), located in the apical membrane of tight epithelia, allows vectorial Na(+) absorption. The amiloride-sensitive ENaC is highly selective for Na(+) and Li(+) ions. There is growing evidence that the short stretch of amino acid residues (preM2) preceding the putative second transmembrane domain M2 forms the outer channel pore with the amiloride binding site and ...
متن کاملIon-binding properties of the ClC chloride selectivity filter.
The ClC channels are members of a large protein family of chloride (Cl-) channels and secondary active Cl- transporters. Despite their diverse functions, the transmembrane architecture within the family is conserved. Here we present a crystallographic study on the ion-binding properties of the ClC selectivity filter in the close homolog from Escherichia coli (EcClC). The ClC selectivity filter ...
متن کاملADAM10 regulates endothelial permeability and T-Cell transmigration by proteolysis of vascular endothelial cadherin.
Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is the major adhesion molecule of endothelial adherens junctions. It plays an essential role in controlling endothelial permeability, vascular integrity, leukocyte transmigration, and angiogenesis. Elevated levels of soluble VE-cadherin are associated with diseases like coronary atherosclerosis. Previous data showed that the extracellular domain of VE-cadherin...
متن کاملHigh Selectivity Miniaturized Broadband Filter
Design of a compact broadband filter using tightly coupled line sections in defected (A slot is cut in the ground) microstrip medium operating from 3.1–6.8 GHz has been reported in this article. Filter has been designed and analyzed using an equivalent circuit model based on even and odd mode parameters of coupled line sections. The proposed filter has attenuation poles on either side of the pa...
متن کاملCadherin Regulates Dendritic Spine Morphogenesis
Synaptic remodeling has been postulated as a mechanism underlying synaptic plasticity, and cadherin adhesion molecules are thought to be a regulator of such a process. We examined the effects of cadherin blockage on synaptogenesis in cultured hippocampal neurons. This blockade resulted in alterations of dendritic spine morphology, such as filopodia-like elongation of the spine and bifurcation o...
