Structure that Opens the Gate and Opens the Door
Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to look at it from a different perspective. That is certainly the case in ion channel research. Hodgkin and Huxley must have realized that 50 years ago when they looked at membrane currents with a voltage clamp, and Sakmann and Neher realized it 20 years ago when they measured Possible Symmetries of Tetrameric Channel single-channel currents with the...
متن کاملProtein kinase CK2 opens the gate for zinc signaling
The importance of zinc in biology is evidenced by the growing number of disease states that directly involve aberrant levels of zinc, including neurodegeneration, inflammation, diabetes, cancer and more. Zinc is a component of an estimated 10% of all proteins and has a well-established role in regulation of gene expression, primarily through activation of metalresponsive transcription factor-1 ...
متن کاملTiming is not Everything: Neuromodulation Opens the STDP Gate
Spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) is a temporally specific extension of Hebbian associative plasticity that has tied together the timing of presynaptic inputs relative to the postsynaptic single spike. However, it is difficult to translate this mechanism to in vivo conditions where there is an abundance of presynaptic activity constantly impinging upon the dendritic tree as well as ongoi...
متن کاملUnderstanding hearing through deafness.
T wenty-five years ago, many people thought that auditory prostheses were too crude to ever benefit auditory neuroscience. One skeptic thought that trying to understand auditory processing by using the artificial pattern of neural activation through a cochlear implant was like trying to understand how a television tuner works by applying a lightning bolt to the antenna. Recent papers in PNAS (1...
متن کاملNuclear background determines biochemical phenotype in the deafness-associated mitochondrial 12S rRNA mutation.
The pathogenetic mechanism of the human mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene mutation at position 1555, associated with non-syndromic deafness and aminoglycoside-induced deafness, has been investigated in 33 transformants obtained by transferring mitochondria from lymphoblastoid cell lines into human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-less (rho *206) cells. In this nearly constant nuclear background, 15 transfor...
