Calcium-calmodulin does not alter the anion permeability of the mouse TMEM16A calcium-activated chloride channel
The transmembrane protein TMEM16A forms a Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel that is permeable to many anions, including SCN(-), I(-), Br(-), Cl(-), and HCO3 (-), and has been implicated in various physiological functions. Indeed, controlling anion permeation through the TMEM16A channel pore may be critical in regulating the pH of exocrine fluids such as the pancreatic juice. The anion permeability...
متن کاملActivation of the Ano1 (TMEM16A) chloride channel by calcium is not mediated by calmodulin
The Ca(2+)-activated Cl channel anoctamin-1 (Ano1; Tmem16A) plays a variety of physiological roles, including epithelial fluid secretion. Ano1 is activated by increases in intracellular Ca(2+), but there is uncertainty whether Ca(2+) binds directly to Ano1 or whether phosphorylation or additional Ca(2+)-binding subunits like calmodulin (CaM) are required. Here we show that CaM is not necessary ...
متن کاملRegulation of TMEM16A chloride channel properties by alternative splicing.
Expression of TMEM16A protein is associated with the activity of Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels. TMEM16A primary transcript undergoes alternative splicing. thus resulting in the generation of multiple isoforms. We have determined the pattern of splicing and assessed the functional properties of the corresponding TMEM16A variants. We found three alternative exons, 6b, 13, and 15, coding for seg...
متن کاملDoes milk increase mucus production?
Excessive milk consumption has a long association with increased respiratory tract mucus production and asthma. Such an association cannot be explained using a conventional allergic paradigm and there is limited medical evidence showing causality. In the human colon, beta-casomorphin-7 (beta-CM-7), an exorphin derived from the breakdown of A1 milk, stimulates mucus production from gut MUC5AC gl...
متن کاملPurified human brain calmodulin does not alter the bicarbonate permeability of the ANO1/TMEM16A channel
Purified human brain calmodulin does not alter the bicarbonate permeability of the ANO1/TMEM16A channel Yawei Yu and Tsung-Yu Chen Volume 145, No. 1, January 5, 2015. Pages 79–81. In a revised version of Jung and Lee’s Letter to the Editor, two additional panels were added to their Fig. 1. Consequently, Yu and Chen’s references to Jung and Lee’s Fig. 1, B and C, should refer instead to Fig. 1, ...
