Tissue-specific expression of a Drosophila calcium-activated potassium channel.
The Drosophila slowpoke (slo) gene encodes a subunit of a CAK channel homologous to the vertebrate BK channel. We have examined slo expression throughout development. It is expressed in muscle cells, neurons of the CNS and PNS, mushroom bodies, a limited number of cells in embryonic and larval midgut and in epithelial-derived tracheal cells. The promoter has been cloned and shown to direct expr...
متن کاملExpression Cloning of TMEM16A as a Calcium-Activated Chloride Channel Subunit
Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) are major regulators of sensory transduction, epithelial secretion, and smooth muscle contraction. Other crucial roles of CaCCs include action potential generation in Characean algae and prevention of polyspermia in frog egg membrane. None of the known molecular candidates share properties characteristic of most CaCCs in native cells. Using Axolotl oo...
متن کاملCalcium channel beta subunit heterogeneity: functional expression of cloned cDNA from heart, aorta and brain.
Complementary DNAs encoding three novel and distinct beta subunits (CaB2a, CaB2b and CaB3) of the high voltage activated (L-type) calcium channel have been isolated from rabbit heart. Their deduced amino acid sequence is homologous to the beta subunit originally cloned from skeletal muscle (CaB1). CaB2a and CaB2b are splicing products of a common primary transcript (CaB2). Northern analysis and...
متن کاملMolecular cloning, water channel activity and tissue specific expression of two isoforms of radish vacuolar aquaporin.
A major membrane intrinsic protein (VM23) in vacuoles of radish (Raphanus) tap root was investigated. The cDNAs for two isoforms of VM23, gamma- and delta-VM23, encode polypeptides of 253 and 248 amino acids, respectively. gamma- and delta-VM23 correspond to the gamma- and delta-TIP (tonoplast intrinsic protein) of Arabidopsis. The deduced amino acid sequences of the two VM23 isoforms were 60% ...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Heat Shock Protein 60kDa Gene from Brucella melitensis as Subunit Vaccine
Brucellosis is caused by the bacterium Brucella and affects various domestic and wild species. GroEL (Heat Shock Protein 60kDa) as one of the major antigens that stimulate the immune system, increases Brucella survival. The aim of the current study was to clone and express GroEL in Escherichia coli in order to design subunit vaccine. Amplifying was performed using specific primers. The full-len...
