Permeation and gating properties of the L-type calcium channel in mouse pancreatic beta cells
Ba2+ currents through L-type Ca2+ channels were recorded from cell-attached patches on mouse pancreatic beta cells. In 10 mM Ba2+, single-channel currents were recorded at -70 mV, the beta cell resting membrane potential. This suggests that Ca2+ influx at negative membrane potentials may contribute to the resting intracellular Ca2+ concentration and thus to basal insulin release. Increasing ext...
متن کاملEffects of strontium on the permeation and gating phenotype of calcium channels in hair cells.
To minimize the effects of Ca2+ buffering and signaling, this study sought to examine single Ca2+ channel properties using Sr2+ ions, which substitute well for Ca2+ but bind weakly to intracellular Ca2+ buffers. Two single-channel fluctuations were distinguished by their sensitivity to dihydropyridine agonist (L-type) and insensitivity toward dihydropyridine antagonist (non-L-type). The L- and ...
متن کاملMolecular basis of permeation in voltage-gated ion channels.
J on channels are pore-forming macromolecules that provide a passive conduit for ion transfer across membranes. Although simple ionophores such as gramicidin and nystatin' fall within this legalistic definition, the ion channels of eukaryotic cells are integral membrane proteins, many of which have now been isolated biochemically, reconstituted, cloned, and expressed. These fascinating proteins...
متن کاملPermeation Mechanisms in the TMEM16B Calcium-Activated Chloride Channels
TMEM16A and TMEM16B encode for Ca2+-activated Cl- channels (CaCC) and are expressed in many cell types and play a relevant role in many physiological processes. Here, I performed a site-directed mutagenesis study to understand the molecular mechanisms of ion permeation of TMEM16B. I mutated two positive charged residues R573 and K540, respectively located at the entrance and inside the putative...
متن کاملQuantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Studies of 4-Imidazolyl- 1,4-dihydropyridines as Calcium Channel Blockers
Objective(s): The structure- activity relationship of a series of 36 molecules, showing L-type calcium channel blocking was studied using a QSAR (quantitative structure–activity relationship) method. Materials and Methods: Structures were optimized by the semi-empirical AM1 quantum-chemical method which was also used to find structure-calcium channel blocking activity trends. Several types of ...
