Viral proteins function as ion channels.
Viral ion channels are short membrane proteins with 50-120 amino acids and play an important role either in regulating virus replication, such as virus entry, assembly and release or modulating the electrochemical balance in the subcellular compartments of host cells. This review summarizes the recent advances in viral encoded ion channel proteins (or viroporins), including PBCV-1 KcV, influenz...
متن کاملIon Channels and Membrane Potential
Cells are demarcated by the cell membrane. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer in which various protein molecules are embedded (see Figure 1). In all animal cells, there is a large difference in ionic concentration between inside and outside the cell (Table 1). Na concentration is higher outside the cell and the K concentration is higher inside the cell. Intracellular Ca concentration is kept ...
متن کاملIon Channels Go to Stockholm—This Time as Proteins
The 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to two structural biologists, Roderick Mackinnon of Rockefeller University and Peter Agre of Johns Hopkins University, for their groundbreaking work on the structure and function of ion channels. In recognition of the outstanding impact that MacKinnon's work has had for neuroscience, Chris Miller traces MacKinnon's scientific path to the Nobel Prize.
متن کاملS100 Calcium Binding Proteins and Ion Channels
S100 Ca(2+)-binding proteins have been associated with a multitude of intracellular Ca(2+)-dependent functions including regulation of the cell cycle, cell differentiation, cell motility and apoptosis, modulation of membrane-cytoskeletal interactions, transduction of intracellular Ca(2+) signals, and in mediating learning and memory. S100 proteins are fine tuned to read the intracellular free C...
