Rational Design of Protein C Activators
In addition to its procoagulant and proinflammatory functions mediated by cleavage of fibrinogen and PAR1, the trypsin-like protease thrombin activates the anticoagulant protein C in a reaction that requires the cofactor thrombomodulin and the endothelial protein C receptor. Once in the circulation, activated protein C functions as an anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory and regenerative factor. He...
متن کاملVoltage dependence of the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel K(Ca)3.1 in human erythroleukemia cells.
We have isolated a K(+)-selective, Ca(2+)-dependent whole cell current and single-channel correlate in the human erythroleukemia (HEL) cell line. The whole cell current was inhibited by the intermediate-conductance KCa3.1 inhibitors clotrimazole, TRAM-34, and charybdotoxin, unaffected by the small-conductance KCa2 family inhibitor apamin and the large-conductance KCa1.1 inhibitors paxilline and...
متن کاملRole of K+ channel activators in cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias.
T he search for new antiarrhythmic agents has long centered around drugs capable of inhibiting one or more of the ionic currents responsible for transmembrane activity in cardiac tissues and drugs capable of interfering with the influence of the autonomic nervous system on the heart. As a consequence, we are today equipped with an armamentarium of sodium, calcium, and potassium channel blockers...
متن کاملA Ca(2)+ signaling pathway regulates a K(+) channel for low-K response in Arabidopsis.
Nutrient sensing is critical for plant adaptation to the environment. Because of extensive farming and erosion, low content of mineral nutrients such as potassium (K(+)) in soils becomes a limiting factor for plant growth. In response to low-K conditions, plants enhance their capability of K(+) uptake through an unknown signaling mechanism. Here we report the identification of a Ca(2+)-dependen...
متن کاملCalcium-activated K(+) channel (K(Ca)3.1) activity during Ca(2+) store depletion and store-operated Ca(2+) entry in human macrophages.
STIM1 'senses' decreases in endoplasmic reticular (ER) luminal Ca(2+) and induces store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) entry through plasma membrane Orai channels. The Ca(2+)/calmodulin-activated K(+) channel K(Ca)3.1 (previously known as SK4) has been implicated as an 'amplifier' of the Ca(2+)-release activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) current, especially in T lymphocytes. We have previously shown that human macr...
