CRISPR/Cas9-Directed Genome Editing of Cultured Cells.
Human genome engineering has been transformed by the introduction of the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) system found in most bacteria and archaea. Type II CRISPR/Cas systems have been engineered to induce RNA-guided genome editing in human cells, where small RNAs function together with Cas9 nucleases for sequence-specific cleavage of t...
متن کاملSite-Directed Spin Labeling Reveals Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Gating Motions
Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are neurotransmitter-activated receptors that mediate fast synaptic transmission. In pLGICs, binding of agonist to the extracellular domain triggers a structural rearrangement that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting pore in the transmembrane domain and, in the continued presence of neurotransmitter, the channels desensitize (close). The flexi...
متن کاملPositional editing of transmembrane domains during ion channel assembly
The integration of transmembrane (TM)-spanning regions of many channels and ion transporters is potentially compromised by the presence of polar and charged residues required for biological function. Although the two TMs of the ATP-gated ion channel subunit P2X2 each contain charged/polar amino acids, we found that each TM is efficiently membrane inserted when it is analysed in isolation, and u...
متن کاملRegulation of Ion Channel and Transporter Function Through RNA Editing.
A large proportion of the recoding events mediated by RNA editing are in mRNAs that encode ion channels and transporters. The effects of these events on protein function have been characterized in only a few cases. In even fewer instances are the mechanistic underpinnings of these effects understood. This review focuses on how RNA editing affects protein function and higher order physiology. In...
