Ancillary subunits associated with voltage-dependent K+ channels.
Since the first discovery of Kvbeta-subunits more than 15 years ago, many more ancillary Kv channel subunits were characterized, for example, KChIPs, KCNEs, and BKbeta-subunits. The ancillary subunits are often integral parts of native Kv channels, which, therefore, are mostly multiprotein complexes composed of voltage-sensing and pore-forming Kvalpha-subunits and of ancillary or beta-subunits....
متن کاملAKT2/3 Subunits Render Guard Cell K+ Channels Ca2+ Sensitive
Inward-rectifying K+ channels serve as a major pathway for Ca2+-sensitive K+ influx into guard cells. Arabidopsis thaliana guard cell inward-rectifying K+ channels are assembled from multiple K+ channel subunits. Following the recent isolation and characterization of an akt2/3-1 knockout mutant, we examined whether the AKT2/3 subunit carries the Ca2+ sensitivity of the guard cell inward rectifi...
متن کاملATP Channels Functional Coupling of Kir6.2 and SUR1 Subunits
The sensitivity of K ATP channels to high-affinity block by sulfonylureas and to stimulation by K 1 channel openers and MgADP (PCOs) is conferred by the regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunit, whereas ATP inhibits the channel through interaction with the inward rectifier (Kir6.2) subunit. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5bisphosphate (PIP 2 ) profoundly antagonized ATP inhibition of K ATP channe...
متن کاملSubunits of Sodium Channels
The purified Na+ channel from rat brain consists of a (260 kDa), Bl (36 kDa), and ,192 (33 kDa) subunits. Pure ,t?l subunits were prepared from purified rat brain Na+ channels which had been adsorbed to hydroxylapatite resin and used to prepare specific anti-81 subunit antiserum. Antibodies purified from this antiserum by antigen affinity chromatography immunoprecipitate 12SI-labeled, purified ...
متن کاملConsequences of the Stoichiometry of Slo1 and Auxiliary Subunits on Functional Properties of Large-Conductance Ca -Activated K Channels
Auxiliary subunits play a major role in defining the functional properties of large-conductance, Ca -dependent BK-type K channels. In particular, both the 1 and 2 subunits produce strong shifts in the voltage dependence of channel activation at a given Ca . subunits are thought to coassemble with subunits in a 1:1 stoichiometry, such that a full ion channel complex may contain up to four subuni...
