Voltage-Dependent Inhibition of Glycine Receptor Channels by Niflumic Acid
Niflumic acid (NFA) is a member of the fenamate class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This compound and its derivatives are used worldwide clinically for the relief of chronic and acute pain. NFA is also a commonly used blocker of voltage-gated chloride channels. Here we present evidence that NFA is an efficient blocker of chloride-permeable glycine receptors (GlyRs) with subunit heter...
متن کاملAMPA Glutamate Receptor Channels
The channel of the glutamate N -methyld -aspartate receptor (NMDAR) transports Ca 2 1 approximately four times more efficiently than that of Ca 2 1 -permeable a -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate receptors (AMPAR). To investigate the basis of this difference in these glutamate receptors (GluRs), we measured the ratio of Cs 1 efflux and Ca 2 1 influx in recombinant NMDAR and Ca 2 1 ...
متن کاملThe polyamine diaminodecane (DA-10) produces a voltage-dependent flickery block of single NMDA receptor channels.
Receptor binding assays have shown that diaminodecane (DA-10) reduced binding of open channel blockers to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of postsynaptic glutamate receptor through an interaction with the polyamine regulatory site. Because the action of DA-10 was opposite to that of the polyamine agonist spermine and was reversed by polyamine antagonists, DA-10 has been classified as an...
متن کاملGene regulation by voltage-dependent calcium channels.
Ca2+ is the most widely used second messenger in cell biology and fulfills a plethora of essential cell functions. One of the most exciting findings of the last decades was the involvement of Ca2+ in the regulation of long-term cell adaptation through its ability to control gene expression. This finding provided a link between cell excitation and gene expression. In this review, we chose to foc...
متن کاملVoltage-dependent Block of Anthrax Toxin Channels in Planar Phospholipid Bilayer Membranes by Symmetric Tetraalkylammonium Ions
Previous studies have shown that symmetric tetraalkylammonium ions affect, in a voltage-dependent manner, the conductance of membranes containing many channels formed by the PAn5 fragment o f anthrax toxin. In this paper we analyze this phenomenon at the single-channel level for tetrabutylammonium ion (Bu4N+). We find that Bu4N + induces a flickery block of the PA65 channel when present on eith...
