Structural determinants of CaV1.3 L-type calcium channel gating
A C-terminal modulatory domain (CTM) tightly regulates the biophysical properties of Ca(v)1.3 L-type Ca(2+) channels, in particular the voltage dependence of activation (V(0.5)) and Ca(2+) dependent inactivation (CDI). A functional CTM is present in the long C-terminus of human and mouse Ca(v)1.3 (Ca(v)1.3(L)), but not in a rat long cDNA clone isolated from superior cervical ganglia neurons (rC...
متن کاملVoltage-gated calcium channel autoimmune cerebellar degeneration
Objectives: To describe response to treatment in a patient with autoantibodies against voltagegated calcium channels (VGCCs) who presented with autoimmune cerebellar degeneration and subsequently developed Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), and to study the effect of the patient’s autoantibodies on Purkinje cells in rat cerebellar slice cultures. Methods: Case report and study of rat cer...
متن کاملLRRK2 Regulates Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel Function
Voltage-gated Ca(2+) (CaV) channels enable Ca(2+) influx in response to membrane depolarization. CaV2.1 channels are localized to the presynaptic membrane of many types of neurons where they are involved in triggering neurotransmitter release. Several signaling proteins have been identified as important CaV2.1 regulators including protein kinases, G-proteins and Ca(2+) binding proteins. Recentl...
متن کاملMolecular Properties of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels
Native Voltage-Gated Ca Channels Early electrophysiological recordings from neurons, muscle and endocrine cells revealed voltage-activated calcium (Ca) currents with distinct characteristics, suggesting the existence of two major classes of Ca2+ channels based upon the membrane potentials at which they first open (see chapter by Tsien); low-voltage activated (LVA) and high-voltage activated (HV...
متن کاملLipid-dependent gating of a voltage-gated potassium channel
Recent studies hypothesized that phospholipids stabilize two voltage-sensing arginine residues of certain voltage-gated potassium channels in activated conformations. It remains unclear how lipids directly affect these channels. Here, by examining the conformations of the KvAP in different lipids, we showed that without voltage change, the voltage-sensor domains switched from the activated to t...
