K+ Channel Regulation of Multicompartmental Signal Integration
Determining how neurons integrate different streams of information is critical to understanding circuit computational functions. In this issue of Neuron, Harnett et al. (2013) show that voltage-gated K+ channels control multiple layers of dendritic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons.
متن کاملKCNE Regulation of K+ Channel Trafficking – a Sisyphean Task?
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels shape the action potentials of excitable cells and regulate membrane potential and ion homeostasis in excitable and non-excitable cells. With 40 known members in the human genome and a variety of homomeric and heteromeric pore-forming α subunit interactions, post-translational modifications, cellular locations, and expression patterns, the functional repert...
متن کاملRegulation of Kv2.1 K(+) conductance by cell surface channel density.
The Kv2.1 voltage-gated K(+) channel is found both freely diffusing over the plasma membrane and concentrated in micron-sized clusters localized to the soma, proximal dendrites, and axon initial segment of hippocampal neurons. In transfected HEK cells, Kv2.1 channels within cluster microdomains are nonconducting. Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, the number of GFP-tagged ...
متن کاملEag1 K+ Channel: Endogenous Regulation and Functions in Nervous System
Ether-à-go-go1 (Eag1, Kv10.1, KCNH1) K+ channel is a member of the voltage-gated K+ channel family mainly distributed in the central nervous system and cancer cells. Like other types of voltage-gated K+ channels, the EAG1 channels are regulated by a variety of endogenous signals including reactive oxygen species, rendering the EAG1 to be in the redox-regulated ion channel family. The role of EA...
متن کاملslo K(+) channel gene regulation mediates rapid drug tolerance.
Changes in neural activity caused by exposure to drugs may trigger homeostatic mechanisms that attempt to restore normal neural excitability. In Drosophila, a single sedation with the anesthetic benzyl alcohol changes the expression of the slo K(+) channel gene and induces rapid drug tolerance. We demonstrate linkage between these two phenomena by using a mutation and a transgene. A mutation th...
