The molecular mechanism by which PIP(2) opens the intracellular G-loop gate of a Kir3.1 channel.
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels are characterized by a long pore comprised of continuous transmembrane and cytosolic portions. A high-resolution structure of a Kir3.1 chimera revealed the presence of the cytosolic (G-loop) gate captured in the closed or open conformations. Here, we conducted molecular-dynamics simulations of these two channel states in the presence and absence of p...
متن کاملAction potential clamp and mefloquine sensitivity of recombinant 'I KS' channels incorporating the V307L KCNQ1 mutation.
The slow delayed rectifier potassium current, 'I(Ks)', contributes to repolarisation of cardiac ventricular action potentials and thereby to the duration of the QT interval of the electrocardiogram. Mutations to I(Ks) channel subunits occur in clinically significant cardiac repolarisation disorders. The short QT syndrome (SQTS) is associated with accelerated ventricular repolarisation and with ...
متن کاملIsolation, purification, and characterization of pipecolic acid-containing actinomycins, Pip 2, Pip 1 , and Pip 1 .
Streptomyces antibioticus synthesizes several new actinomycins when DL-pipecolic acid is provided in the culture medium. Three of the compounds (Pip 2, Pip lar, and Pip Ifi) were isolated, purified, and characterized. Amino acid hydrolysates revealed that these antibiotics contain threonine, valine, sarcosine, and N-methylvaline but differ from actinomycins normally synthesized in the imino aci...
متن کاملMolecular basis for differential sensitivity of KCNQ and I(Ks) channels to the cognitive enhancer XE991.
Channels formed by coassembly of the KCNQ1 (KvLQT1) subunit and the minK subunit underlie slowly activating cardiac delayed rectifier (I(Ks)) in the heart, whereas two other members of the KCNQ channel family, KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, coassemble to underlie the M current in the nervous system. Because of their important physiological function, KCNQ channels have potential as drug targets, and an unders...
متن کاملPhoneme discrimination using KS algebra I
In our work we define a new algebra of operators as a substitute for fuzzy logic. Its primary purpose is for construction of binary discriminators for phonemes based on spectral content. It is optimized for design of non-parametric computational circuits, and makes uses of 4 operations: min, max, the difference and generalized additively homogenuous means.
