Aggregated Markov Processes and Channel Gating Kinetics
A finite state Markov process is aggregated into several groups. Rather than observing the underlying Markov process. one is only able to observe the aggregated process. What can be learned about the underlying process from the aggregated one? Such questions arise in she study of gating mechanisms in ion channels in muscle and nerve cell membranes. We discuss some recent results and their impli...
متن کاملGating Kinetics of the α1i T-Type Calcium Channel
The alpha1I T-type calcium channel inactivates almost 10-fold more slowly than the other family members (alpha1G and alpha1H) or most native T-channels. We have examined the underlying mechanisms using whole-cell recordings from rat alpha1I stably expressed in HEK293 cells. We found several kinetic differences between alpha1G and alpha1I, including some properties that at first appear qualitati...
متن کاملKinetics of cardiac RyR channel gating studied at high temporal resolution.
Measurements of ryanodine receptor (RyR) activity during dynamic changes of calcium concentration have suggested that RyR has at least four calcium binding sites, and that activation transpires as an increase in the activity within the high open probability H-mode. Binding of several Ca2+ ions within the H-mode should manifest itself in the steady-state RyR activity by the presence of multiple ...
متن کاملThe cardiac sodium channel: gating function and molecular pharmacology.
Cardiac sodium (Na) channels are dynamic molecules that undergo rapid structural changes in response to the changing electrical field in the myocardium. Inherited mutations in SCN5A, the gene encoding the cardiac Na channel, provoke life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, often by modifying these voltage-dependent conformational changes. These disorders (i.e. the long QT syndrome and Brugada synd...
متن کاملCalcium-mediated dual-mode regulation of cardiac sodium channel gating.
Intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) can trigger dual-mode regulation of the voltage gated cardiac sodium channel (Na(V)1.5). The channel components of the Ca(2+) regulatory system are the calmodulin (CaM)-binding IQ motif and the Ca(2+) sensing EF hand-like (EFL) motif in the carboxyl terminus of the channel. Mutations in either motif have been associated with arrhythmogenic changes in expressed...
