Extracellular chloride modulates the desensitization kinetics of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a).
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are sodium channels gated by extracellular protons. The recent crystallization of ASIC1a identified potential binding sites for Cl(-) in the extracellular domain that are highly conserved between ASIC isoforms. However, the significance of Cl(-) binding is unknown. We investigated the effect of Cl(-) substitution on heterologously expressed ASIC1a current and H...
متن کاملActivation of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) by surface trafficking.
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are voltage-independent Na(+) channels activated by extracellular protons. ASIC1a is expressed in neurons in mammalian brain and is implicated in long term potentiation of synaptic transmission that contributes to learning and memory. In ischemic brain injury, however, activation of this Ca(2+)-permeable channel plays a critical role in acidosis-mediated, gluta...
متن کاملAcid-sensing ion channel 1a regulates the survival of nucleus pulposus cells in the acidic environment of degenerated intervertebral discs
Objective(s): Activation of acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is responsible for tissue injury caused by acidosis in nervous systems. But its physiological and pathological roles in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) are unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ASIC1a regulates the survival of NPCs in the acidic environment of degenerated discs. Materials and Methods: NPCs were i...
متن کاملAcid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) 1a undergoes a height transition in response to acidification.
The acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) 1a is known to assemble as a homotrimer. Here, we used atomic force microscopy to image ASIC1a, integrated into lipid bilayers, at pH 7.0 and pH 6.0. The triangular appearance of the channel was clearly visible. A height distribution for the channels at pH 7.0 had two peaks, at 2 and 4 nm, likely representing the intracellular and extracellular domains, respe...
متن کاملAcid-sensing ion channels 1a (ASIC1a) inhibit neuromuscular transmission in female mice
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC) open in response to extracellular acidosis. ASIC1a, a particular subtype of these channels, has been described to have a postsynaptic distribution in the brain, being involved not only in ischemia and epilepsy, but also in fear and psychiatric pathologies. High-frequency stimulation of skeletal motor nerve terminals (MNTs) can induce presynaptic pH changes in co...
