Luminal chloride-dependent activation of endosome calcium channels: patch clamp study of enlarged endosomes.
Although Ca(2+) release from early endosomes (EE) is important for the fusion of primary endosomes, the presence of an ion channel responsible for releasing calcium from the EE has not been shown. A recent proteomics study has identified the TRPV2 channel protein in EE, suggesting that transient receptor potential-like Ca(2+) channels may be in endosomes. The submicron size of endosomes has mad...
متن کاملActivation and Inhibition of TMEM16A Calcium-Activated Chloride Channels
Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCC) encoded by family members of transmembrane proteins of unknown function 16 (TMEM16) have recently been intensely studied for functional properties as well as their physiological roles as chloride channels in various tissues. One technical hurdle in studying these channels is the well-known channel rundown that frequently impairs the precision of electr...
متن کاملCalcium-activated chloride channels.
Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) play important roles in cellular physiology, including epithelial secretion of electrolytes and water, sensory transduction, regulation of neuronal and cardiac excitability, and regulation of vascular tone. This review discusses the physiological roles of these channels, their mechanisms of regulation and activation, and the mechanisms of anion select...
متن کاملActivation of calcium-dependent chloride channels in rat parotid acinar cells
The Ca2+ and voltage dependence of Ca(2+)-activated Cl- currents in rat parotid acinar cells was examined with the whole-cell patch clamp technique. Acinar cells were dialyzed with buffered free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) from < 1 nM to 5 microM. Increasing [Ca2+]i induced an increase in Cl- current at all membrane potentials. In cells dialyzed with [Ca2+]i > 25 nM, depolarizing test pulses ...
متن کاملCalmodulin-dependent activation and inactivation of anoctamin calcium-gated chloride channels
Calcium-dependent chloride channels serve critical functions in diverse biological systems. Driven by cellular calcium signals, the channels codetermine excitatory processes and promote solute transport. The anoctamin (ANO) family of membrane proteins encodes three calcium-activated chloride channels, named ANO 1 (also TMEM16A), ANO 2 (also TMEM16B), and ANO 6 (also TMEM16F). Here we examined h...
