Expression patterns, mutation detection and RNA interference of Rhopalosiphum padi voltage-gated sodium channel genes
The voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) is the target of sodium-channel-blocking insecticides. Traditionally, animals were thought to have only one VGSC gene comprising a α-subunit with four homologous domains (DI-DIV). The present study showed that Rhopalosiphum padi, an economically important crop pest, owned a unique heterodimeric VGSC (H1 and H2 subunits) encoded by two genes (Rpvgsc1 and R...
متن کاملVoltage-gated sodium channel expression in rat spiral ganglion neurons.
The spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) provide the afferent innervation of the hair cells in the organ of Corti and relay auditory information from the inner ear to the brain. Voltage-gated sodium channels (Na(V)) initiate and propagate action potentials that encode this sensory information but little is known regarding the subtypes expressed in these cells. We have used RT-PCR and immunohistochemis...
متن کاملA prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium channel.
The pore-forming subunits of canonical voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels are encoded by four repeated domains of six-transmembrane (6TM) segments. We expressed and characterized a bacterial ion channel (NaChBac) from Bacillus halodurans that is encoded by one 6TM segment. The sequence, especially in the pore region, is similar to that of voltage-gated calcium channels. The expressed cha...
متن کاملScn8a voltage-gated sodium channel mutation alters seizure and anxiety responses to acute stress.
Stress is known to trigger seizures in patients with epilepsy, highlighting the physiological stress response as a possible therapeutic target for epilepsy treatment. Nevertheless, little is currently known about how a genetic predisposition to epilepsy interacts with the stress response to influence seizure outcome. To address this question, we examined the effect of acute stress on seizure ou...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in the Voltage-gated Sodium Channel Genes and Antiepileptic Efficacy of Carbamazepine
Background: Voltage-gated sodium channels are responsible for the initial-depolarization component of action potentials in brain neurons, and hence they are the target for widely used antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine (CBZ). With the working hypothesis that genetic defect in voltage-gated sodium channels can alter the response to CBZ, this study was performed to elucidate the relationsh...
