The cardiac sodium channel: gating function and molecular pharmacology.
Cardiac sodium (Na) channels are dynamic molecules that undergo rapid structural changes in response to the changing electrical field in the myocardium. Inherited mutations in SCN5A, the gene encoding the cardiac Na channel, provoke life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, often by modifying these voltage-dependent conformational changes. These disorders (i.e. the long QT syndrome and Brugada synd...
متن کاملCalcium-mediated dual-mode regulation of cardiac sodium channel gating.
Intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) can trigger dual-mode regulation of the voltage gated cardiac sodium channel (Na(V)1.5). The channel components of the Ca(2+) regulatory system are the calmodulin (CaM)-binding IQ motif and the Ca(2+) sensing EF hand-like (EFL) motif in the carboxyl terminus of the channel. Mutations in either motif have been associated with arrhythmogenic changes in expressed...
متن کاملTubulin polymerization modifies cardiac sodium channel expression and gating.
AIMS Treatment with the anticancer drug taxol (TXL), which polymerizes the cytoskeleton protein tubulin, may evoke cardiac arrhythmias based on reduced human cardiac sodium channel (Na(v)1.5) function. Therefore, we investigated whether enhanced tubulin polymerization by TXL affects Na(v)1.5 function and expression and whether these effects are beta1-subunit-mediated. METHODS AND RESULTS Huma...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent model of human cardiac sodium channel
Cardiac sodium channels are integral membrane proteins whose structure is not known at atomic level yet and their molecular kinetics is still being studied through mathematical modeling. This study has focused on adapting an existing model of cardiac Na channel to analyze molecular kinetics of channels at 9-37°C. Irvine et al developed a Markov model for Na channel using Neuronal Network Model ...
