New Positive Ca 2 1 - Activated K 1 Channel Gating Modulators with Selectivity for KCa 3 . 1 s
Small-conductance (KCa2) and intermediate-conductance (KCa3.1) calcium-activated K channels are voltage-independent and share a common calcium/calmodulin-mediated gating mechanism. Existing positive gating modulators like EBIO, NS309, or SKA-31 activate both KCa2 and KCa3.1 channels with similar potency or, as in the case of CyPPA and NS13001, selectively activate KCa2.2 and KCa2.3 channels. We...
متن کاملA fast BK-type KCa current acts as a postsynaptic modulator of temporal selectivity for communication signals
Temporal patterns of spiking often convey behaviorally relevant information. Various synaptic mechanisms and intrinsic membrane properties can influence neuronal selectivity to temporal patterns of input. However, little is known about how synaptic mechanisms and intrinsic properties together determine the temporal selectivity of neuronal output. We tackled this question by recording from midbr...
متن کاملChannel Gating
Large conductance, voltageand Ca 2 -activated K (BK Ca ) channels regulate blood vessel tone, synaptic transmission, and hearing owing to dual activation by membrane depolarization and intracellular Ca 2 . Similar to an archeon Ca 2 -activated K channel, MthK, each of four subunits of BK Ca may contain two cytosolic RCK domains and eight of which may form a gating ring. The structure of the Mth...
متن کاملCapturing Ion Channel Gating
This is a golden age for ion channels: a time when chemistry, molecular biology, and electrophysiology have come together with structural biology to provide glimpses into some truly amazing membrane proteins. And yet, as usual, the answers yield more questions. Is a new structure the structure of an open channel or of a closed one? How does the voltage sensor actually move? Though providing ama...
متن کاملSelectivity and gating of the type L potassium channel in mouse lymphocytes
Type l voltage-gated K+ channels in murine lymphocytes were studied under voltage clamp in cell-attached patches and in the whole-cell configuration. The kinetics of activation of whole-cell currents during depolarizing pulses could be fit by a single exponential after an initial delay. Deactivation upon repolarization of both macroscopic and microscopic currents was mono-exponential, except in...
