Kvβ1.2 Subunit Coexpression in HEK293 Cells Confers O2 Sensitivity to Kv4.2 but not to Shaker Channels
Voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels are protein complexes composed of ion-conducting integral membrane alpha subunits and cytoplasmic modulatory beta subunits. The differential expression and association of alpha and beta subunits seems to contribute significantly to the complexity and heterogeneity of KV channels in excitable cells, and their functional expression in heterologous systems provides a...
متن کاملHeteromeric olfactory cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: a subunit that confers increased sensitivity to cAMP.
Olfactory receptor neurons respond to odorant stimulation with a rapid increase in intracellular cAMP that opens cyclic nucleotide-gated (cng) cation channels. cng channels in rat olfactory neurons are activated by cAMP in the low micromolar range and are outwardly rectifying. The cloned rat olfactory cng channel (rOCNC1), however, is much less sensitive to cAMP and exhibits very weak rectifica...
متن کاملA novel EGFR isoform confers increased invasiveness to cancer cells.
As a validated therapeutic target in several human cancers, the EGF receptor (EGFR) provides a focus to gain deeper insights into cancer pathophysiology. In this study, we report the identification of a naturally occurring and widely expressed EGFR isoform termed EGFRvA, which substitutes a Ser/Thr-rich peptide for part of the carboxyl-terminal regulatory domain of the receptor. Intriguingly, E...
متن کاملHeteromeric Slick/Slack K+ channels show graded sensitivity to cell volume changes
Slick and Slack high-conductance K+ channels are found in the CNS, kidneys, pancreas, among other organs, where they play an important role in cell excitability as well as in ion transport processes. They are both activated by Na+ and Cl- but show a differential regulation by cell volume changes. Slick has been shown to be regulated by cell volume changes, whereas Slack is insensitive. α-subuni...
متن کاملHeteromeric connexons in lens gap junction channels.
Gap junction channels are formed by paired oligomeric membrane hemichannels called connexons, which are composed of proteins of the connexin family. Experiments with transfected cell lines and paired Xenopus oocytes have demonstrated that heterotypic intercellular channels which are formed by two connexons, each composed of a different connexin, can selectively occur. Studies by Stauffer [Stauf...
