Subunit Composition Determines the Single Channel Kinetics of the Epithelial Sodium Channel
We have further characterized at the single channel level the properties of epithelial sodium channels formed by coexpression of alpha with either wild-type beta or gamma subunits and alpha with carboxy-terminal truncated beta (betaT) or gamma (gammaT) subunits in Xenopus laevis oocytes. alphabeta and alphabetaT channels (9.6 and 8.7 pS, respectively, with 150 mM Li+) were found to be constitut...
متن کاملThe sodium channel from rat brain. Purification and subunit composition.
A procedure is described for purification of the sodium channel 1380-fold from rat brain to essential homogeneity. The channel is solubilized in Triton X-100 and stabilized by addition of phosphatidylcholine and 10 mM CaCl2. It is purified by sequential chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxylapatite, and wheat germ agglutinin/Sepharose followed by sedimentation through sucrose gradients. The ...
متن کاملSubunit composition determines Kv1 potassium channel surface expression.
Shaker-related or Kv1 voltage-gated K(+) channels play critical roles in regulating the excitability of mammalian neurons. Native Kv1 channel complexes are octamers of four integral membrane alpha subunits and four cytoplasmic beta subunits, such that a tremendous diversity of channel complexes can be assembled from the array of alpha and beta subunits expressed in the brain. However, biochemic...
متن کاملA negatively charged residue in the outer mouth of rat sodium channel determines the gating kinetics of the channel.
Previous studies using combined techniques of site-directed mutagenesis and electrophysiology of voltage-gated Na(+) channels have demonstrated that there are significant overlaps in the regions that are important for the two fundamental properties of the channels, namely gating and permeation. We have previously shown that a pore-lining residue, W402 in S5-S6 region (P loop) in domain I of the...
متن کاملFunctional domains of the epithelial sodium channel.
T he epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays an important role in ion transport of many organ systems. In kidney, colon, and sweat gland, ENaC-mediated transepithelial sodium transport helps to adjust sodium excretion in the urine, feces, and sweat to fulfill homeostatic requirements. In lung and airways, ENaC activity is important for alveolar liquid clearance and regulation of mucous fluidity....
