Single molecule FRET reveals pore size and opening mechanism of a mechano-sensitive ion channel
The mechanosensitive channel of large conductance, which serves as a model system for mechanosensitive channels, has previously been crystallized in the closed form, but not in the open form. Ensemble measurements and electrophysiological sieving experiments show that the open-diameter of the channel pore is >25 Å, but the exact size and whether the conformational change follows a helix-tilt or...
متن کاملAn evidence for a potassium channel in endoplasmic reticulum based on single channel recording in bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of potassium selective channels in membranes internal organelles. These channels are essential to a large variety of cellular processes including intracellular 2+ a signaling, protein recycling, charge neutralization and cell protection. In contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly ...
متن کاملSingle-molecule switchable FRET
Two-photon microscopy offers unique advantages for excitation of channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2)-expressing neurons, but previous attempts had limitations in terms of the axial and temporal resolution. Emiliani and colleagues now use a scanless approach that combines generalized phase contrast and temporal focusing to shape two-photon excitation patterns and trigger single action potentials or trains...
متن کاملPatch clamp techniques for single channel and whole-cell recording
The patch clamp technique was first used by Neher and Sakmann (1976) to resolve currents through single acetylcholine-activated channels in cell-attached patches of membrane of frog skeletal muscle. The method they used (described by Neher, Sakmann & Steinbach, 1978) and subsequent refinements (Hamill, Marty, Neher, Sakmann & Sigworth, 1981) have led to techniques for high resolution recording ...
متن کاملSingle-molecule three-color FRET.
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measured at the single-molecule level can reveal conformational changes of biomolecules and intermolecular interactions in physiologically relevant conditions. Thus far single-molecule FRET has been measured only between two fluorophores. However, for many complex systems, the ability to observe changes in more than one distance is desired and FRET ...
