Monovalent Cation Permeation through the Connexin40 Gap Junction Channel
The unitary conductances and permeability sequences of the rat connexin40 (rCx40) gap junction channels to seven monovalent cations and anions were studied in rCx40-transfected neuroblastoma 2A (N2A) cell pairs using the dual whole cell recording technique. Chloride salt cation substitutions (115 mM principal salt) resulted in the following junctional maximal single channel current-voltage rela...
متن کاملMechanism of proton permeation through chloroplast lipid membranes.
Electrical measurements were carried out to investigate the contribution of chloroplast lipids to the passive proton permeability of both the thylakoid and inner-envelope membranes. Permeability coefficient and conductance to protons were measured for solvent-free bilayers made from monogalactosyldiglyceride:digalactosyldiglycerid: sulfoquinovosyldiglyceride:phosphatidylglycerol (2:1:0.5:0.5, w...
متن کاملMultiscale simulation reveals a multifaceted mechanism of proton permeation through the influenza A M2 proton channel.
The influenza A virus M2 channel (AM2) is crucial in the viral life cycle. Despite many previous experimental and computational studies, the mechanism of the activating process in which proton permeation acidifies the virion to release the viral RNA and core proteins is not well understood. Herein the AM2 proton permeation process has been systematically characterized using multiscale computer ...
متن کاملPersistence of gap junction communication during myocardial ischemia.
During myocardial ischemia, severe ATP depletion induces rigor contracture followed by intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) rise and progressive impairment of gap junction (GJ)-mediated electrical coupling. Our objective was to investigate whether chemical coupling through GJ allows propagation of rigor in cardiomyocytes and whether it persists after rigor development. In end-to-end conne...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of proton permeation through a voltage-gated proton channel
Voltage-gated proton channels are found in many different types of cells, where they facilitate proton movement through the membrane. The mechanism of proton permeation through the channel is an issue of long-term interest, but it remains an open question. To address this issue, we examined the temperature dependence of proton permeation. Under whole cell recordings, rapid temperature changes w...
